Tong Le Montessori School

Tong Le Montessori School describes its approach as an authentic Montessori education grounded in Dr. Maria Montessori’s view that children learn naturally from a carefully prepared environment. The school emphasizes hands-on, self-directed learning with Montessori materials, mixed-age classrooms, and teachers who guide children to develop skills and discover knowledge at their own pace.

Tong Le Montessori says interested families should start by attending a scheduled school tour/Parent Ed presentation, or by contacting the school to arrange an alternate tour; the website does not show a separate online application form. (tonglemontessori.com) The school enrolls children ages 6 weeks to 12 years, requires regular 5-day attendance rather than 2-day enrollment, and notes that IC candidates do not need to be fully potty trained yet but should begin toilet training at home, while Primary/Casa candidates must already know how to use the toilet. (tonglemontessori.com) For waitlist placement, the site says families can get their child onto the waiting list after completing a tour. (tonglemontessori.com) The main timing details published are that the academic year runs from September to June, returning families receive re-enrollment offers before the end of the current school year, and new students may sometimes enter midyear on a case-by-case basis; no fixed external application deadlines were posted. (tonglemontessori.com) The website does not publish formal admissions priority categories, although the re-enrollment language suggests current families may receive first consideration for the following year.
