Admissions
Thank you for your interest in joining our community! We are always happy to speak with new parents and help you learn more about our school. There is a lot to consider when choosing the right school for your child and our application process is designed to help the school and families get to know one another. If you are offered enrollment at Fiore, we enter into a partnership together. It is important that we both take this time to ask questions and learn more. Below you will find the steps to our application process.
Things to Note
​
​
Programs are available for children between 3 months and 15 years of age with morning, school day, and all day options available. All programs are 5 days a week. See our Programs page for more details.
​
We accept new applications year round. However, new students will typically start school in September. We will consider other enrollment dates based on our availability and most ideal starting time for your child.
​
Financial Aid
​
​
We offer need-based financial aid to qualified students each year. Our financial aid application will be resubmitted annually. While we wish we could provide aid to all applicants with demonstrated need, please know that we receive more applications than funds available. Our financial aid application will be due by December 10th for current families and January 20th for new families.
Step 1: Schedule a Virtual Info Session
​
Register for one of our Prospective Parent Info Sessions. Attending this discussion allows you to see first hand what an authentic Montessori education has to offer. You will have the opportunity to learn about our school, and ask any questions you may have. We view this as a valuable step in preparing you for what our community is like. This is a required step for all parents considering our programs. Afterwards, you will receive a link to our application.
Note: Info sessions are an hour in length. Please plan to attend for the full hour. We also request that you have your video turned on so that we can all have a more personal experience.
Step 2: Apply
​
If after the tour, you believe that Fiore could be a good fit for your family, we invite you to complete an application to continue the process. You will submit a completed application form along with a $80 non-refundable application fee (this can be paid via PayPal). If your child is coming from another school setting with progress reports or has any evaluation/diagnosis reports, please submit them at the time of applying.
Applications may be submitted until January 20th to ensure consideration for the following school year. Any applications received after this date will be considered in our second round of admissions for any remaining availability.
Step 3: Parent Interview
​
Once your application has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email and a link to sign up for a parent interview with our Director of Enrollment. We use this call to learn more about your family and answer any questions that you may have. Both parents are required to attend (when applicable).
Step 4: Student Visit / Observations
​
The student visit is a chance for one of our guides to meet and get to know your child. For younger students, we will invite parents for observations and a follow up conversation.
Step 5: Enrollment Decision
​
Once you have completed all of the steps to our application process, we will review all of the information that has been gathered and determine if our school will be a good fit for you family and if we are able to serve your student in our environments. If yes, and we have a space available, we will send you a one year agreement to enroll your child. You will have 2-3 days to decide and accept our offer.
