Indiana Montessori Academy

Indiana Montessori Academy’s admissions process begins with attending a Prospective Parent Evening (or arranging a private tour) and then submitting an application; after the application is received, the family is added to the waitlist. Families then complete additional steps—classroom observation and an interview—and those who continue through these steps move ahead on the waitlist. If offered a space, families can submit an enrollment deposit to hold the spot (the deposit is later applied/returned during the child’s kindergarten year at IMA). The school notes that enrollment sessions occur in both fall and spring and run about 4 weeks, and any incomplete steps roll into the next session; they also advise planning far ahead (primary typically enrolls in the fall for the following school year, while toddler enrollment is about two years in advance). Key dates listed for Prospective Parent Evenings in the 2025–2026 cycle include September 9, 2025 (virtual), September 11, 2025, March 2, 2026, and March 4, 2026 (virtual), and the school states its Primary and Toddler programs are full for the 2025–2026 and 2026–2027 school years (so these events feed waitlists and later enrollment). Priority category noted: siblings receive priority for enrollment in the toddler program, and there is no fee to apply or to be placed on the waitlist.
