Admissions Process

Welcome!

At Bay Farm Montessori Academy, we are committed to nurturing both intellectual growth and emotional intelligence in every child. Our admissions process is designed to help families find the best match for their child’s educational journey, ensuring that Bay Farm is a place where students can grow into confident, compassionate learners with “Bright Minds and Big Hearts.”

We welcome inquiries year-round. Please fill out an inquiry form to sign up for a prescheduled tour. 

We invite families to experience firsthand how our Montessori approach fosters the development of academic excellence alongside social-emotional growth. Our nine-acre campus is home to a vibrant learning community where students engage in meaningful work in a calm, orderly, and inclusive environment. The interaction between our skilled educators and students is respectful and personal, creating a spirit of cooperation and goodwill that extends throughout the campus and beyond.

Step 1: Inquire & Schedule a Tour

The first step of the process is to complete our official inquiry form and schedule a tour.

During your tour of our campus, you’ll observe students actively engaged in a hands-on, dynamic Montessori environment. Our classrooms are designed to be engaging and serene, allowing students to focus on their work with purpose. This is an opportunity to see how our holistic curriculum integrates core academic subjects with Spanish, music, visual arts, and even agriculture, providing a well-rounded experience. Please use the form above to complete the inquiry form and schedule a tour.

Step 2: Apply

To apply for admission, please complete the following steps:

  • Complete the application and submit the application fee.
  • Complete supporting documents (see the application page for appropriate level)
  • Complete campus visits (both parent and applicant)

Step 3: Parent Student Visit

The final step is to arrange a time for your child to visit the classroom for a period of the day. This is a great way for your child to familiarize with their new environment and ensure that Bay Farm is a good match for your family. We will work with families case-by-case to determine the best way to connect. These visits will likely be scheduled in February 2025.
