How To Apply

If you would like to enroll your child in Raab Montessori Academy, please read the information below and fill out an online enrollment request to indicate the program option you wish to enroll your child in.  All forms included in our enrollment packet can be found on our website under Step 4 below. They may be submitted through the site, or printed and the hardcopies turned in. Please be sure that all necessary information and documentation is provided.

With limited spots available, students are accepted on a first come first serve basis. Once we receive the online enrollment request, the enrollment packet, and a deposit of one month’s tuition, your child’s spot will be held. If all available spots are filled at the time you wish to apply, you may opt to put your name on a waitlist and will be notified should additional enrollment spots become available. We look forward to reviewing your child’s application!

The Application Process

Start Application

Begin your application by clicking the button below to complete the online enrollment request form. This indicates the student(s) you wish to enroll and your desired program option for the school year and/or summer program. If you plan to enroll for both the summer and school year sessions then please fill out information accordingly for both enrollment periods. For weekly enrollment in the summer program, specific weeks need not be determined at the time of enrollment.

Gather Necessary Documents

Here, you can download our enrollment packet. Please complete all forms, along with your child’s Universal Health Record and Immunization Records. You can submit these documents with your enrollment request form, or email/mail hard copies prior to your child’s start date. *Enrollment packets are not required at the time of enrollment for a spot to be held in our program.

Submit The Form

By submitting the enrollment request form, you are indicating that you are ready to enroll your child(ren) and would like to continue with the application process. This acknowledges that should an opening be available for your desired program, you are prepared to pay a deposit and secure your enrollment spot.

Review The Submission

The RMA team will review the enrollment request, and you will be notified of availability, or the option to be put on our waitlist. If you are put on a waitlist, we will notify you as soon as a spot becomes available. Please keep in mind that there may only be availabilities for program options other than the days you selected.

Deposit

After submitting an enrollment request form (and all necessary documentation if submitted through the site), we require one month tuition as a deposit to secure your spot. This payment will be put towards May’s tuition. Deposits may be paid through check or Venmo, which is linked to our site. *You will need to submit both your enrollment request form and a deposit for your spot to be held in our program. All deposits are non refundable.
