  Admission Policy

  Admissions decisions are based upon the space available and an evaluation of the suitability of SNHMA for each child. Generally, priority consideration for enrollment is given to applicants in the following order: (1) qualified siblings of current SNHMA students; (2) qualified students with previous Montessori experience; (3) all other qualified applicants. Great care is taken to maintain a balance of gender, age, and learning differences and styles in each classroom.
