Admissions Process for New Students
Spruce Pine Montessori School uses a rolling admissions process
where children are accepted throughout the year. Currently, we offer a
Toddler program for children ages 15 months-3 years; a Primary program
for children ages 3-6 years; and elementary programs for children ages
6-12. We maintain a 1:6 teacher to student ratio in our Toddler program;
based on this ratio, we have a maximum of 12 spaces for children ages 15
months-3 years. We maintain a 1:10 teacher to student ratio in our
Primary program; based on this ratio, we have a maximum of 40 spaces for
3-6 year old children. If there are no spaces available at the time we
receive your application, we will be happy to put you on our waiting
list.
Spruce Pine Montessori School has a three-step admissions process for
acceptance:
A scheduled tour and question-and-answer session with the Head of
School (This should be done with the child if possible)
A completed application turned in to SPMS along with the
non-refundable $50 application fee (application below)
Review of application by the Admissions Committee
Tour and Question-and-Answer Session
One of the best ways to decide whether a school is right for your
child’s education is for you and your family to visit the school, meet
the faculty and staff, and see the classrooms in action. To learn more
about the Montessori approach and about SPMS specifically, please
schedule a tour by contacting the office at (828) 765-7779.
Enrollment Application
Please complete the enrollment application and return it to the school
office along with your $50 non-refundable application fee. You may also
mail your application and fee to:
Spruce Pine Montessori School
Head of School
67 Walnut Ave.
Spruce Pine, NC 28777
Admissions Committee
The Spruce Pine Montessori School Admissions Committee consists of the
Head of School, one member of the Board of Trustees, and the faculty for
the appropriate age-level program. The Admissions Committee will review
your application and notify you by phone or mail of your acceptance
status.
Family Handbook
Our family handbook is a great source
of information about policies and procedures at SPMS. If you
are a family currently enrolled at SPMS, please read the
2010-2011 Family Handbook
and submit the sign-off sheet to the
office.
