"It
is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as
a companion inseparable
from our lives, as something having a purpose which it truly has."
Maria Montessori
Admission
The first step in the admission process is a parental classroom observation and school tour. Next, the child is invited to visit the class level into which he/she would enroll. Finally, the enrollment contract is completed and applicable fees are paid. AII completed applications are processed in the order received and without regard to race, color, creed or sex. After a class is filled, additional applicants have the option of being placed on a waiting list, Waiting list preference is given to siblings of current students and families committed to the full Primary ancl Elementary School programs.
Admission to the Prjmary School is limited to children ages three to six who have been toilet trained. Brush Creek makes every effort to balance the two Primary School classrooms with regard to age and sex and to maintain teacher continuity for each student. For these reasons, the school cannot guarantee that requests for a specific classroom/teacher will be granted, but will. attempt to accommodate parental requests whenever possible.
The Lower and Upper Elementary classes are for children ages six to nine and nine to twelve, respectively. Students enrolling at the Elementary levels without previous Montessori experience are encouraged to attend the Summer Program prior to their first Elementary year., This experience will expose the child to the Montessori method, allow him/her to get to know some , of the students and staff and become a member of the Brush Creek Community.
