What is the application process?
You may submit your application for the next school year at any time; all applicants are put on a “waiting list” until January when we begin the acceptance process.

Preference is given for siblings of current and past students, as well as for students transferring from other Montessori schools. We also try to maintain a balance of boys and girls and age groups within each class.

We continue to accept from the waiting list until all classrooms are full. For more information see the Admissions page.

It’s free because we really want you to do it – it’s best for your dog, which also makes it best for us! However, we realize that for many of our boarding clients, bringing their dog for a day only is inconvenient. To encourage all new clients to do this, there is no charge for the introduction/evaluation day. If
