Maria Montessori International Aca

Maria Montessori International Academy describes a Montessori approach centered on “joyful learning” in which adults closely observe children and prepare a warm, peaceful environment that meets each child’s needs. They emphasize “empowered classrooms” that give children structure plus freedom of choice to explore, building independence and allowing early literacy to develop naturally, leading to broader “infinite possibilities” for learning across subjects and languages.

MMIA’s admissions starts with contacting the school to schedule a visit (they advertise school tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with specific morning tour time options shown on their contact page). (inmontessori.com) The website indicates availability can be limited and does not publish a current, fixed annual application deadline (the homepage still references applicants for school year 2024–25). (inmontessori.com) To secure a placement, the handbook lists an annual, non-refundable placement reservation fee of $125 per family and an annual school supplies fee of $175 per child. (inmontessori.com) Before the beginning of school, families must complete required enrollment paperwork including an enrollment form, emergency health/medical consent form, immunization records, student records transmittal request, Title I form, media release, walking field trip permission form, and custody papers if applicable. (inmontessori.com) If classes are full, MMIA may use a waitlist and says families will be notified of openings based on their position on the list; no additional priority categories (e.g., sibling preference) are described in the materials reviewed.
