MSD is still enrolling for 2025-2026 in select programs! We encourage you to reach out to our team if you are interested in a mid-year start.

The application for the 2026-2027 school year is now open! Applications are due Friday, January 9. Every completed admission file is reviewed for fit by MSD’s Admission Committee. Priority is given to families who submit their application by January 9th, but we will continue to accept applications on a rolling basis thereafter as needed. First round admission decisions are sent in late February or early March, depending upon program level.  

Please inquire to learn more about our tours and open houses for the upcoming school year- we hope to meet you on campus soon!   

Yes! We strive to make MSD as accessible and affordable to as many families as possible.

Each year, families from Primary-8th grade may apply for aid on a needs-basis. The application opens in late fall and any tuition assistance would be included in the enrollment contract for new and continuing students. Priority for aid is given to returning families each year. A typical award is 35-50% off tuition, although higher awards are possible. Tuition assistance applications receive a thorough evaluation by committee, and aid is awarded based on demonstrated need and the availability of funds for each school year. We do not offer merit-based scholarships at this time. 

Please note: our awarding for 2025-2026 has ended. For more information about tuition assistance for 2026-2027, please see here.

Small group tours are held throughout the admission season and are adults-only. They offer a deeper dive into Montessori curriculum through classroom observations. A Montessori environment is a unique educational experience that can be best appreciated by seeing it in action.

This is a time to connect with MSD staff 1:1! We want to learn more about you and your family and answer questions you may have.These chats are most frequently hosted virtually via Zoom. 

Our student visits allow prospective students to be able to participate in classroom activities and spend time with peers. This is a valuable time to connect with the MSD learning spaces and teachers, work with other students, and engage with Montessori materials. These visits also allow your family to gain a sense of our community.

Primary and Kindergarten applicants will complete their visit on Friday, February 6, while older applicants are scheduled for their visits on an individual basis. Toddler applicants are not required to complete a visit but are invited to a fun playgroup opportunity on campus with their peers! 

Dr. Montessori extended her approach to children of all ages, even up to the secondary (high school) level. The benefits of Montessori—the emphasis on independent learning, leadership, and the warm, supportive community—are critical at each stage of development as children grow into lifelong learners and responsible citizens. MSD’s innovative Elementary and Middle School programs are truly unique. Check out Montessori FAQs here or reach out to learn more.
