We make our admissions decisions after a family completes the process outlined below. During this process, our goals are to fully inform families about our program by encouraging questions and discussion and to get to know a prospective family and student. The knowledge gained by both parents and Bridgeview Montessori is key in creating a wonderful family and school partnership.

The Application Process

  • If you are exploring our school during the school year, schedule a time for an individualized tour at the school, followed by a discussion of the program with our Director of Admissions, Suzanne Lawson. Ideally, this kind of appointment is best scheduled for a time when adults can come without their children, but children are always welcome. Families may also register to attend a Welcome Wednesdays, between 9:15 and 10:45 am on specific Wednesdays listed below.

  • If you are exploring the school during the summer, we generally welcome families on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Although we do not have children in our classrooms, we would love to show you our space and discuss what we do. With enough notice, we also try to have classroom teachers on hand to give you a an even better sense of who we are. To make this appointment either use the button below to connect with our Director of Admissions.

Please let us know if you plan to attend a Welcome Wednesday or if you would prefer to schedule a private tour.
Welcome Wednesdays for the 2025-2026 school year. Drop in between 9:15 and 10:45 am

Admissions Decisions

Once we have received a completed application as through the Apply for Admission page, we will notify you as to our admission decision, generally within three weeks. If accepted, you will receive an Annual Enrollment Contract that must be completed, initialed, signed, and returned to the school with a $500 enrollment deposit by the date indicated in your acceptance letter. The $500 enrollment deposit is applied towards tuition.
 
Please read that contract carefully. Click here to see sample contract.
 
Applications received during the summer will be handled individually, and admission decisions will be made as soon as possible based on available openings.

Affording a Bridgeview Montessori Education

We believe deeply that children who attend Bridgeview Montessori School are on a meaningful path toward becoming confident, independent, lifelong learners. We are equally committed to making a Bridgeview education accessible to as many children as possible.

While we believe families hold the primary responsibility for financing their child’s education, we also recognize that the cost of a Montessori education can present a significant challenge for some families. To help make our school accessible to a broader range of families, Bridgeview Montessori School offers a need-based financial aid program.

Our financial aid program is designed to ensure that every admitted student with demonstrated financial need has the opportunity to attend Bridgeview Montessori School. We are proud to support families in making a Bridgeview education a reality for their children.

Policy on Nondiscrimination

Bridgeview Montessori promotes respect for all students, employees, and applicants for admissions or employment, and prohibits discrimination to the full extent required by law, including discrimination based on race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, gender identify, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other category which is protected by applicable Federal and MA law. These nondiscrimination policies apply in administration of our educational policies, hiring policies, admission policies, financial aid programs, and other school-administered programs.
