How To Apply

Are you interested in applying to the Montessori Academy of Virginia? We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your child.

Application Process

We encourage all prospective parents to read this web site thoroughly, as most questions are answered in our detailed descriptions.
After reading the Programs offered by MAV, the first step is to either apply online for a tour or call the location of your interest for an appointment.
Once a tour is scheduled you will be provided with a Pending Enrollment Application to be completed and submitted online or a hard copy brought with you for the campus tour.
The Pending Enrollment Application is required for all potential registrations.
The Admissions Team will review each student’s application with regards to vacancies in existing classes including balancing of ages, genders, school transcripts (school age), visit to the school etc.
At the Campus Director’s discretion, a "morning visit" for your child may be offered.
Each Campus Director will make every effort to inform the parents as soon as possible regarding the status of a child’s application.
Please understand that the school does not entertain phone calls regarding submitted applications.

On arrival at the school please park in an available space and ring the front doorbell.
The Campus Director will welcome you, walk you through the campus and explain our educational program. You will have a chance to observe classes in session through the viewing windows. Afternoon tours may not always feature a classroom lesson cycle.
The campus tour allows parents to gain first-hand experience of how classrooms work. Keep in mind there are no programs that exclusively fit every type of child. The Director will provide information on space availability per age group of their specific campus.
After your tour and upon acceptance of your child's application, the Director will set an appointment to discuss your financial obligations with the school and discuss the school contract.
