Admissions Process for New Students

Spruce Pine Montessori School uses a rolling admissions process where children are accepted throughout the year. We maintain a 1:10 teacher to student ratio in our Primary 3-6 Year Old program; based on this ratio, we have a maximum of 40 spaces for 3-6 year old children. f 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.

Admissions Committee
