How to Apply.
We are delighted that you’re interested in learning more about Clover School Admissions and we cannot wait to meet you and your child!
We understand that finding the right school for your child can be daunting, so we try to make the process as easy as possible.
Here’s a quick look at what comes next…
Visit The Clover School
The admissions process is designed to help you learn as much as possible about our signature Montessori programming and help us get to know you and your child.
We recommend that you take some time prior to your visit to consider what’s most important to you and your child when it comes to finding the right educational environment and come prepared with any questions you might have about us and our schools.
We believe that the best time to see our school in action is when classes are in session. This will give you the opportunity to see our school when it is brimming with the energy of our students.
Apply Online
Once we’ve had the chance to get to know one another you’ll have the chance to apply to our Clover School programs.
Applications are submitted through our online portal and we will send you a link inviting you to apply once you’ve completed your tour. If you are unable to attend a tour session, we are happy to schedule a phone call to answer any questions you might have prior to applying.
All new applicants must pay a one-time Application Fee of $500.00. The application form and the application fee must be received in order for us to begin processing your application.
Once our admissions department has had a chance to review your application, we will contact you directly to confirm application status and to discuss next steps for admission and enrollment.
Admissions
Admission into our Toddler Program (ages 18 months – 2.5 years) and Primary Program (2.5 years – 6 years) is on a first come first served basis.
Returning and former students, their siblings, and those previously enrolled in other Montessori schools have priority over new applicants. Every effort is made to balance the enrolment in each class according to gender (identity) and age.
New families applying to our Elementary Program (Grades 1 through 6) may be asked to come in for an assessment/interview/visit to determine your child’s suitability for the program. Once you have decided to apply, you will be asked to provide additional paperwork, past report cards and any educational/behavioural assessments your child may have had. Accompanying paperwork can be sent in via email to our Admissions Director at admissions@cloverschool.com
PLEASE NOTE: You can enroll your child at any grade. Prior Montessori experience is not a prerequisite. We look for students and families who will fit into our community culture and share our values of progressive thinking, lifelong learning and curiosity, an openness and willingness to work hard and push themselves a little more each day to realize their dreams and fullest potential.
Our programs fill up quickly so applications will be placed on a wait list in order of their application dates. Families will be contacted once an opening is available.
