Application Process

Global Montessori Academy accepts applications year round.  Students are evaluated on the basis of readiness for school and potential for success in a Montessori classroom. It is equally important to determine whether the parents’ educational philosophy is compatible with that of GMA. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, physical handicap or religion in admission of students or the employment of faculty and staff.

GMA is currently accepting applications for our

Elementary (ages 6-9 & 9-12) levels

for the 2024–2025 academic year and

Children’s House (ages 3 to 6) for the 2025-2026 academic year.

SPACE IS LIMITED!

Please contact our school office at 913-544-1041 for more information.

APPLICATION PROCESS

  1. Schedule a classroom observation and school tour. Please call 913-544-1041 ext 103 or email (info@globalmontessori.com) to schedule. This will allow you to experience the classroom environment for yourself and will likely spur more questions.
  2. Submit a completed Admissions Application along with the $60 non-refundable application fee. We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 academic year at the Children’s House level and applications for the 2024-2025 academic year at the Elementary level. We are at full capacity at the Children’s House (ages 3-6) and infant and toddler levels for the current school year. Due to the wait lists at those levels, those levels will most likely be filled for 2024-2025 . Please note in the application if the ideal start date is after the 2025-2026 school year.
  3. For new students applying for the Lower Elementary program, a shadow day will be required (typically in April).  The student will spend an entire day in the Lower Elementary classroom where they will interact with the other students and be evaluated by Brandy Parr, the Lower Elementary Teacher.

PLEASE NOTE

  • We are not currently accepting applications for infants or toddlers as those classes are filled internally by siblings of currently enrolled students or children of staff members.
  • Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by February 2025.
  • Global Montessori Academy accepts children year round as long as there are spots available.  As a private, non-profit school, we do not follow a strict birth date cutoff to determine start dates.  We believe that children are individuals and progress at different rates not necessarily tied to a birth date.
  • Due to high demand and wait-listing for most classes, applications are carried over from year to year.
  • Criteria for acceptance will vary by age and may include teacher assessments based on interviews and classroom visits, make-up of current class, and available space. Students applying for the Children’s House program, ages 3–6, MUST be potty-trained by the child’s first day in care.
  • In order to be granted admission, all children must be fully up to date on KDHE required vaccinations.
