Admissions
Before children are admitted to our school, we conduct a comprehensive interview to get to know both the children and their families better. For us, quality is more important than quantity.
Depending on the school places available, we give great importance to a balanced age mix and harmonious group dynamics.
We reserve the right not to accept individual families and children if we feel that we cannot provide them with the best possible individual support.
Admission Process
1. Initial Application – No Commitment Required
If you are interested in a place at our school, we invite you to complete our online pre-registration form. This is the first step in our admissions process and comes with no obligation.
2. A Personal Tour of Our School
Once we have received your pre-registration, we will be delighted to invite you and your child to visit our school.
Experience AMAVIDA through the eyes of our students! Our school tours are led by students of AMAVIDA Montessori School, offering you an authentic glimpse into their everyday learning experiences.
During your visit, you will explore our learning spaces, discover our Montessori environment and gain a deeper understanding of our educational approach.
Your child is warmly encouraged to join you. In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, they will have the opportunity to explore their new surroundings and discover some of our Montessori learning materials.
3. Online Parent Meeting
Following your school visit, if you feel that AMAVIDA Montessori School could be the right fit for your child and family, we invite you to schedule an online meeting with our school leadership.
This is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your expectations and ask any questions you may have about our school and educational philosophy.
After the meeting, we will be in touch to let you know about the next steps.
Admission decisions are based on the following criteria:
-
Availability of places in the relevant grade level
-
A shared understanding of and commitment to Montessori education and the values of our school
4. Trial Days for Students Transferring from Another School
For children wishing to transfer to AMAVIDA Montessori School from another school, trial days are a required part of the admissions process before a place can be offered.
These days give children the opportunity to experience our Montessori learning environment firsthand, become familiar with our daily routines and get to know our school community.
Important: A Shared Understanding of Montessori Education
Choosing a Montessori school is more than choosing a place for your child's education. It is a conscious decision to embrace an educational philosophy that respects each child's individuality, nurtures independence and encourages a lifelong love of learning.
At AMAVIDA, we believe that children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore, make choices and take responsibility for their own learning, supported by thoughtful guidance and a carefully prepared environment. Every child brings unique strengths, interests and developmental needs, and we honour their individual journey and natural pace of growth.
Our approach to learning, personal and academic development, and assessment is firmly rooted in Montessori principles. Independence, self-confidence, personal responsibility and the joy of discovery are at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that a successful Montessori education grows from a strong partnership between school and home. It is therefore important to us that families not only become familiar with our educational philosophy, but genuinely understand, value and support it.
Choosing AMAVIDA means choosing this educational journey together. A shared commitment to Montessori values provides the foundation for a trusting, respectful and meaningful partnership between parents and our school.
We warmly encourage all families considering AMAVIDA to explore the principles and values of Montessori education before beginning the admissions process.
