Thank you for your interest in the Westside Montessori School Elementary Program. This application helps us learn more about your child, your family and your hopes for the elementary years. Admission decisions are based on space availability, program fit, readiness for the Montessori elementary environment and the school’s ability to support the student’s needs. Submission of an application does not guarantee enrolment.

ADMISSIONS TIMELINE: Applications for the upcoming school year are reviewed on a rolling basis. Most admission decisions are completed by the end March once available spaces for September have been offered. Families who are not offered a space may be invited to join the Reserve List.

RESERVE LIST: Occasionally, a space becomes available during the school year. When this occurs, the school may contact families who have completed the application process and remain on the Reserve List.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: We are able to enrol a limited number of International students who are not Canadian citizens or landed immigrants. Students must live with at least one of their parents during their stay. International student fees can be found on the elementary page of our website. Students must possess a valid student visa and are expected to attend through to the end of the school year.
