Admission Policies
 The
Philomath Montessori School recommends enrolling your child between the
ages of 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 years. They must be at least reliably toilet trained.
We consider diversity important to the health of the school and to the
full development of the children. No child will be refused admission because
of race, religion, or creed.
- Waiting List Policy
- The Philomath Montessori School strives to admit children to our school
in a fair and timely manner. We use the following procedure to meet
this objective while maintaining classroom balance with respect to age,
gender, and cultural diversity:
• We place a child on the waiting list when payment of the family's
deposit and registration fees are received with a completed application
form.
• We admit children to the school when they become eligible, in
the order they were placed on the waiting list.
- Eligibility
- • Eligibility for an open position is subject to the Guides'
determination of the required age, gender, and cultural diversity to
maintain classroom balance.
• When a family has requested that their child not be admitted
before a certain date, that child is not eligible until the requested
time has arrived.
• When two or more children on the waiting list are otherwise eligible,
and were placed on the waiting list within 3 months of each other, siblings
of present or past students take highest priority; transfer students
from other Montessori schools take second priority; other children take
third priority.
• Children under 2-1/2 or over 4-1/2 years old are generally not
eligible for admission. Older transfer students may be eligible with
the consent of the Guides.
Philomath Montessori School makes every effort to admit each child on
our waiting list into a classroom, however, we cannot guarantee any position
or the time required for a child to be admitted.

 Volunteer
hours
- Volunteer Time: 20 hrs/yr/family
- We want every family to be aware of what is involved when they enroll
their child in our school. Besides tuition and annual registration fees,
each family is required to do 20 hours of volunteer work each year for
the school. They may opt to pay $300 in exchange for those hours or
$15 per hour for the balance of hours not completed. However, we strongly
encourage our families to fulfill their commitment by direct involvement
-- parent meetings, fund-raisers, socials, and parent projects for the
classroom. There are obvious benefits for the school, and building school
community, but their child reaps the biggest benefit of all. Each year
we also do at least one fund-raiser to augment our program wherever
the greatest need exists.
