Step 3: Schedule a Child Visit

For children ages three and up, we will contact you to arrange a time for your child to tour our school and visit the classroom.  Elementary visits will vary in length and are agreed upon by the family and guides. Classroom visits are customized to each child’s needs and readiness to join the classroom community.  

 

Step 4: Admission Decision

Admission to Cobb School Montessori is determined with the utmost consideration for the individual applicant and the existing community. You will receive an email with our admissions decision. Upon notification of acceptance, a 10% non-refundable deposit is required to guarantee a student’s space, which will be applied to tuition. When individual classrooms reach their capacity, children may be added to the waiting list.

The Cobb School, Montessori does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity or orientation.  Families of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, as The Cobb School works vigorously to build an inclusive community of families from all walks of life and from all over the world.
