We invite you to tour our school.  Tours are held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:15pm.  Please call 757-427-0494 or email to schedule a tour.  Included in the tour will be a brief discussion about the Montessori philosophy of education and a tour of the school.  We encourage you to bring your child(ren) with you for the tour.

Enrollment

We offer open enrollment throughout the school year.  In the spring, we begin enrollment for the summer program.  Students are enrolled on a first come, first served basis subject to availability, so we encourage you to apply early. Priority enrollment consideration is given to re-enrolling students and siblings who meet admissions qualifications.  We look forward to meeting you soon.

Please complete the application included in the General Information packet received at your school visit.  Please submit a $200 non-refundable deposit with your application in order to reserve a space for your child.

Early Withdrawal
Our tuition is calculated as one child’s share of the year’s operating expenses. Therefore, it is essential that parents understand that there can be no reduction or remission of fees if the child withdraws before the end of the school year. However, we understand that circumstances arise that require you to withdraw your child, and each request will be evaluated on an individual basis. Each child enters the school on a thirty-day trial basis. During the thirty-day period, the parent or the school may recommend withdrawal without penalty.  After thirty days, if the head of school decides the child would be best served in another environment, the child may withdraw without penalty.

Sandpiper Montessori does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational or enrollment policies.
