Teaching Approach

Updated 7mo ago

Northside Montessori follows an authentic Montessori approach that meets each child where they are and aims to educate the whole child. Learning is child-directed in a carefully prepared, child-centered environment with multi-age classrooms, concrete materials, and individualized lessons that build independence, internal self-discipline, collaboration, and a lasting love of learning.

Admissions

Updated 7mo ago

Northside Montessori’s website does not provide an online application; families are instructed to email the school or call to receive enrollment information (including for the 2026–2027 year). (nmsindy.com) The academic year is described as running from mid-August through the end of May, with half-day (8:00am–12:00pm), full-day (8:00am–3:00pm), and extended-care (7:00–8:00am and 3:00–5:30pm) options. (nmsindy.com) The site does not list specific application deadlines/key dates beyond that general school-year window, and it does not publish required application materials or stated admissions steps (e.g., interviews/observations). (nmsindy.com) No waitlist policy (how it works, how to join, or how offers are made) is described on the website. (nmsindy.com) The website also does not describe any admissions priority categories (such as siblings, staff, etc.), so families would need to ask directly when they contact the school at 317-251-2979 or northsidemontessori@gmail.com.
