Selecting a school for your child(ren) can be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Our goal is to partner with you by sharing meaningful support and information to help you make an informed decision for your family.
Step 1 Tour & Observe
Come and see firsthand what MRM is all about! During the tour, you will explore our beautiful campus, observe students actively engaged in their classrooms, and learn more about Montessori education. You will also have the opportunity to meet with our Head of School and Kelly Wick, our Admissions Coordinator, to discuss your observations and ask any questions you may have about the school, the Montessori method, or MRM policies and procedures.
To schedule an admissions tour, please start by clicking the button below. Should you need any assistance, please contact Kelly Wick at kelly.wick@manyriversmontessori.org or call 218-464-5570.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Note, for current MRM families that are applying for student siblings, the school tour portion of your admissions checklist will be manually updated by our team.
Step 2 Apply
- Following your tour & observation, the next step is to head over to our admissions portal and begin the application. Note, a non-refundable $50 application fee is required.
- Need-based financial aid applications are also due at this time. Please see the Financial Aid page for more details. After March 7th, financial aid applications are considered on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted.
- For current parents looking to apply for the sibling deadline, please click HERE.
- Once you’ve submitted your application, please initiate the Records Release Authorization form and the Teacher’s Reference form via the Admissions Portal at your earliest convenience. These forms will be considered as part of the admissions process.
Please note: Some schools will not accept a web form via Veracross. As an alternative, you can print these using the links below and directly provide them to the responsible parties. Our team will then manually complete the Veracross checklist once these forms are received.
Step 3 Admissions Visit
During the Admissions Visit, teachers meet informally with applicants in order to assess school or grade-level readiness. At the Toddler and Children’s House levels, students generally make small group visits on a prearranged date. Lower Elementary applicants (grades 1-3) visit the classroom for a half-day visit. Upper Elementary & Middle School applicants (grades 4-8) visit for a full school day. Whether at the Toddler, Children’s House, Elementary or Middle School level, these visits also include time for prospective parents and school faculty to become better acquainted. For applications received in the summer, applicants have a one-on-one meeting with one of our teachers.
Step 4 Decision
Parents will be notified of their child’s admission status. Acceptance for the following school year will be made in March, with signed contracts and deposits due in April. If these dates have passed, please contact the school to discuss possible openings.
Step 5 Contract
To confirm your child’s place at Many Rivers Montessori, please submit the enrollment contract, accompanied by a $500 non-refundable enrollment deposit. This fee will be applied to the final tuition payment for the school year.
Please note: The Tuition Agreement is for the full school year.
Before your child(ren) can attend the school, we will need to have all necessary enrollment forms completed and health forms submitted. You will receive information about these requirements before the school year.
Thank you for your interest in Many Rivers Montessori. We look forward to meeting you!
