Admissions:

It all begins here.

The first years for our children are so vital.

It’s when the foundations of an expansive purposeful life are laid down, and where they are prepared for what comes next. We have the extraordinary opportunity in the choices we make as parents/caregivers and educators to give them the building blocks they need to pursue their own learning. Not just in their formative years, but for life.

The Admissions Process

Greene Towne’s admissions process begins in the fall of the year preceding enrollment and includes a School Tour. Below outlines our admissions process and some important dates. 

Step 1: Admissions Open Houses and Tours

It is important that parents understand Greene Towne and the Montessori philosophy before applying. There are two ways for parents to learn about our school.

Attend a Friday Admissions Open House

Throughout the year, we offer Friday Open Houses on select Fridays. Prospective parents have an opportunity to meet current Greene Towne parents and hear about our school before the tour. Friday Open Houses are just for parents.

Friday Open House Schedule:

8:30 – 9 a.m. | Coffee with our Current Parents (optional)
9 – 10:30 a.m. | Introduction to Montessori Curriculum and School Tour to see our students actively engaged in Montessori classrooms

Join a Parent Tour

We offer small group Parent Tours on select Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and by appointment. Parent tours are just for parents.

9 – 10:30 a.m. | Introduction to Montessori Curriculum and School Tour to see our students actively engaged in Montessori classrooms

To attend a Friday Open House or Parent Tour, please complete our inquiry form. If the dates offered are not convenient for your schedule, please call 215-563-6368 ext. 233 or email admissions@gtms.org.

Step 2: Submit Your Child’s Application 

Once a family has taken a school tour, families may submit an application for their child. 

Applications are accepted throughout the year with priority admission decisions for the upcoming school year for children whose applications are submitted by December 1. After December 1, applications are considered on a rolling basis as space permits. 

For families who wish to apply for mid-year admission or on a rolling basis in the spring or summer, we encourage you to contact us immediately for a school tour so you may apply as soon as possible.

We look forward to getting to know your family.  Apply here!

Step 3: Child Visit

Once a complete application is received, the third step is a visit for you and your child with members of our Montessori faculty. A member of our enrollment team will contact families to schedule the visit. Child visits for families who have applied by December 1 are scheduled for the following January.

Step 4: Admissions Decision

Families of Primary applicants are notified of admissions decisions starting in early February and Toddler House applicants are notified starting in late February.
