Admissions
Rolling Admissions
We are pleased that you are interested in our Nature Based Christian Montessori school experience. Choosing an appropriate school for your Child and Family is an important decision and we hope to help you in this process. The admissions process is designed to help you learn as much as possible about our programs.
Princeton Preparatory Schools offers rolling admissions, which means no deadlines for new student applications! Whenever you are ready to join us - even in the middle of the school year – we are ready for you, so long as spots are available.
Please Note: Our programs fill up quickly so applications will be placed in order of their application dates. In the event we are full, families will be contacted once an opening is available.
Step 1 - Visit our School
Schedule a private school tour. Children are required to attend the initial tour.
​
We recommend that you take some time prior to your visit to visit our website and come prepared with any questions you might have about us and our schools.
​
Tours are held on Tuesday and Thursday at 3:30pm
by appointment only.
Step 2 - Schedule a Trial Day
Trial Days are available for children aged 3 and older. Children under the age of 3 are not required to participate. After completing a successful tour and determining that our school may be the right fit for your child, you can schedule a Trial Day. We will provide you with a link to arrange the Trial Day, which has a fee of $50. During the Trial Day, you will have the opportunity to observe how your child adjusts to the school environment.
​
This is a vital step in our application process, as it allows both parents and the school to gain a better understanding of one another.
Step 3 - Admissions
Following the Trial Day, we will assess whether your child is a suitable candidate for our program. If they are, they may begin attending immediately, or, if a spot is unavailable, they will be placed on a waitlist. To succeed in our program, children must demonstrate a certain level of independence, including the ability to communicate their restroom needs and be potty trained by the age of 3.​
​
PLEASE NOTE: The ages we accept are from 18 months to 7 years for children entering our elementary program. Prior Montessori experience is not a prerequisite. We look for students and families from all cultural backgrounds who will fit into our community, culture, and share our values.
Financial Commitment
Commitment to the three-year developmental cycles of our program is essential. Families should only enroll their children if they are prepared to allow the child to complete the full three-year cycle. While this is ideal, we understand that circumstances may change. To accommodate transient families and other unforeseen situations, students are typically enrolled for the entire academic year, including summer if applicable, unless otherwise specified.
​
Families are responsible for adhering to the financial obligations of the school. Once enrollment is confirmed, the school commits to ensuring the child’s place for the entire year. Tuition payments are essential for the operation of the school, including funding salaries, supplies, and capital improvements. As such, tuition payments are non-refundable, and the obligation to pay full tuition cannot be canceled, regardless of student absence, dismissal by the school, or withdrawal by the parents for any reason, at any time during the year.
