Applying to Jarrow

“We must look to the children as a vehicle for bringing change to humanity. ” ​

- Maria Montessori

Welcome to Jarrow! 

 

We are glad you are considering Jarrow Montessori School for your child's education. Our admissions process is designed to help families explore our programs and determine if Jarrow is the right fit for your child and your family. We welcome applications for our Toddler, Primary, and Elementary programs beginning in the 2027-2028 school year. Jarrow is fully enrolled for the 2026-2027 academic year.

How to Apply
Step 1: Submit an Inquiry Form

Begin by completing our Inquiry Form.

 

This allows us to learn more about your family and your interest in Jarrow. After submitting the form, our admissions team will reach out to you to provide additional information and answer any questions you may have.

Step 2: Schedule a Tour

After submitting the inquiry form, the next step is to schedule a tour of our campus.

 

We offer both virtual and in-person tours to accommodate your preferences. During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to observe our classrooms, meet our educators, learn more about our Montessori approach, and ask questions.

Step 3: Complete Your Application

Following your tour, you can proceed to complete our Admissions Application. This is done through our FACTS Family Portal. Please note that a non-refundable application fee of $125 is required at the time of submission. The application will ask for detailed information about your child and your family's educational goals, and allow us to learn more about your family.

Step 4: Student Visit and Assessment

Once we receive your application, we'll schedule a visit for your child to spend time in the classroom. This shadow visit gives applying students the opportunity to experience a typical day and connect with potential classmates, and, it allows our educators to get to know your child's unique strengths and learning style in the Montessori environment.

Admissions Decisions 

At Jarrow Montessori, we maintain an active "wait pool" rather than a traditional first-come, first-served waitlist. Because creating balanced, harmonious classrooms is central to Montessori education, applications are thoughtfully evaluated based on age, gender balance, developmental readiness, and peer group dynamics. When an opening becomes available, our Admissions Team pulls from the entire pool to select the child who best complements the existing classroom mix.

​

The Jarrow Admissions Cycle:
​

  • December 2026 - Though we review applicants throughout the year, applying by December for the upcoming school year allows your child the best chance of enrollment as we aim to build our classes by the end of January.
     

  • January 2027 -  Re-enrollment takes place for current Jarrow families.
     

  • January 2027 -  Financial aid applications and supporting tax documents are due via the FACTS portal.
     

  • February 2027 - Admissions offer letters, enrollment contracts, and financial aid award notifications are issued to families.
     

  • Spring & Summer: Our Admissions Team continues to monitor enrollment levels and reaches back out to the wait pool as mid-season or unexpected openings arise.
