How To Apply
Are you interested in applying to our school?
We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your child! These steps will walk you through the process.
Schedule a Tour
Tours are held by appointment only. School tours generally last about 30-45 minutes and consist of an overview of our programs, a visit to the class, a walk through our facilities, and time for parents to ask questions about the school.
Submit an Application
After the tour you will be given a folder with information about the school. Applications are online, and the $75 application fee is paid through PayPal.
Learn About Our Interview Process
Once we have processed your application, you and your child may be asked to come in for an interview and teacher meeting. We will arrange this with you on an individual basis, depending on the child’s age and previous school experience.
Learn About Our Acceptance Process
Upon acceptance to Cross of Life Christian Montessori you will be given an acceptance letter and contract. The contract should be returned with the registration fee within 5 business days in order to ensure your spot.
If we do not have spaces open for your preferred date of entry, you will be placed in a waiting pool and notified of openings as they become available. Our goal is to balance the classrooms by age and gender of the children, as well as the readiness of the child.
COLCM welcomes all families regardless of gender, race, national origin, religion or disability.
Participation in Chapel and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is not required as part of our educational program.
Parent Reviews
"I want to highlight the level of education my two children are receiving. You choose Montessori because you value independent learning in a group setting. I’ve watched my children blossom in this environment. From independence, advanced vocabulary and comprehension, self confidence, practical life skills, you name it our kids are accruing the tools they need to set them up for success. And as a dad who didn’t completely understand Montessori in the beginning, I don’t have to worry, the staff have informative conversations a few times a year so you learn how to be a Montessori parent. Your little one/s will flourish and you will be happy you chose COLM!"
