About Us : Admissions

Admissions

Evergreen does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, political belief, or any other legally protected basis. The School does not utilize specific academic entrance requirements. We do, however, interview all applicants for suitability into the program. All applicants to Evergreen School must go through the admissions procedure. All prospective students under age 4-1/2, as well as all parents, must be interviewed by the Head of School.  Students age 4 and older may be required to visit the school for up to 3 days. A student's special needs must be manageable in the Montessori classroom without detriment to the rest of the class. The School makes every reasonable attempt to guide children to success in the program. All new students are admitted with a 60-day probationary status.

Students may enter from September through the first school day in March. The application and enrollment process continues throughout the year.

The application for admission should be returned to the School along with a non-refundable application fee. When the school office receives this form, the Admissions Director will schedule an interview. Upon acceptance to Evergreen School, the parent(s) or guardian(s) needs to sign and return the enrollment contract along with the tuition deposit within 2 weeks. All payment terms apply to new students, but due dates may be adjusted to reflect the date of acceptance.

Re-enrollment
The re-enrollment deadline is in March. A non-refundable enrollment deposit and a signed enrollment contract will hold a place for your child. The re-enrollment deposit will be credited to the final scheduled tuition payment as specified in the contract.

Current families wishing to re-enroll after the deadline may be required to reapply to the school. Spaces vacated by current families will be awarded immediately to new applicants.

Admissions Codes of Ethics
Membership in professional associations affects our admission policies as we adhere to the Codes of Ethics of those associations:

* Upon receipt of an application, the school presumes that parents have notified the school presently attended of the intention to apply elsewhere.
* A school will not accept a student from another school without an exchange of information between officials of the two schools. Parents are encouraged to share with the schools their concerns about duplicate applications, duplicate tests, dates for notification of acceptance, or acceptance of re-enrollment.
* No school shall require a parent commitment for enrollment of newly accepted students prior to March 1st. Parents are requested to inform all schools to which they have applied when they do not want further consideration of the applicant for the coming academic year.
