The Newtown Montessori School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the programs and activities offered at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic or other school programs. Lower School Children must be 3 years old by December 31 of the admitting year and toilet trained.
Priority is given to siblings of current and former students, and younger applicants.
Ideally, a child starts his Montessori education at the age of three. Prospective parents are asked to visit and observe a Lower School class. At this time, the Head of the school will meet with the parents. Prospective students will be scheduled to visit in small groups in the spring prior to admission. Elementary School Children must be 6 years old by December 31 of the admitting year.
