Admissions
Admissions Process
Our annual intake of new students for the upcoming school year begins in January. Families who are interested in enrolling their child for September 2025 are asked to attend our Open House, which is scheduled for Saturday, January 11, 2025. We do not maintain an extended waiting list or open registration before the Open House.
Admissions Process:
Attend our annual Open House on Saturday, January 11th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Register your child (during the Open House) for a group assessment session, conducted by our teachers and administration.
After the session, you will receive an offer of admission via email, pending space availability.
To secure your child’s spot, complete and return the application package with the required deposit.
Final decisions on our enrolment intake for the upcoming September will be made on Friday, January 28th. All families who applied for registration will be contacted by the Head of Admissions.
About Our Open House:
During our Open House, you will have the opportunity to tour our facilities, meet our teachers, and learn about the Montessori method as well as Cornerstone's unique educational philosophy. Our teachers and administration will be available to answer any questions you may have about our curriculum, teaching methods, and student life.
We encourage you to bring your child along so that they can experience the environment, and we can get to know them. Once your tour is complete, you will have the chance to register your child for a group assessment, which will be held the following Saturday. The registration fee for the assessment is $150.00.
Assessments:
Our group assessments are conducted by some of our experienced teachers and administrators. Students participate in small groups of about 10, spending approximately 40 minutes in a classroom. These sessions allow our staff to observe how the children engage with classroom materials, interact with teachers, and respond to the Montessori environment. There are no formal tests or exams during the assessment.
After all assessments are completed, final enrollment decisions will be made, and families will be notified by Friday, January 24th. Please note that registration priority is always given to new students who currently have siblings enrolled at Cornerstone.
