The admissions procedure is a two-fold process. It is designed to give parents an opportunity to learn about the school, its philosophy and policies, and to meet our administration and faculty. It also gives us an opportunity to assess each child's situation and determine whether we are able to meet the needs and expectations of the parents. Our goal is to enroll families who will both benefit from and contribute to what the school has to offer.

If you are interested in enrolling your child in Reston Montessori School:

1. Parents schedule a tour with the Reston Montessori School (RMS) office. Please call the school office at (703)481-2922 to make an appointment. 

   If distance does not permit you to visit, we ask that you call and discuss your needs and any questions with the Director or Assistant Director.

2. Complete the application and return it with the fee to the RMS Office. In addition, parents of prospective elementary students must sign a records release form that RMS sends to the student's previous school.

3. The RMS Office sends an acknowledgement card to parents upon receipt of the application and fee.

4. RMS schedules an appointment for the parents and student to meet with the Director.

5. RMS administrators review the application and make a decision regarding the acceptance of the applicant.

6. When the applicant is accepted, the Director sends a contract to the parents.

7. A student is formally admitted when the signed contract and specified fees are received by the RMS Office by the specified date.
