We continue to accept applications until classes are fully enrolled, however we maintain a waiting pool and encourage families to contact us throughout the year.
Summer Applications: Please note that if you are applying after the previous school year has ended, and therefore unable to attend parent and student visits while in session, we will work with you to set up meetings with our Admissions Director and teachers if possible. These meetings will help to convey what a Montessori education has to offer, and to determine if Hilltop Montessori School would be a beneficial learning environment for your child. Visiting during the summer can make it harder for all to assess whether or not Hilltop is a good fit.
