Step 1: Apply Online

Current and prospective families are asked to complete the application for all new students through Brightwheel, our classroom management software (a prompt will require you to login or create a new login prior to completing the application).  Once the application is complete, the student(s) will be added to our applicant pool. Please be sure to complete the application in its entirety.

We do rolling admissions throughout the year, depending on space availability and fit. Applicants who are not immediately accepted will be placed in our applicant pool for the year and will remain under consideration for future spots. You may also apply for future school years by indicating your desired school year in the application.

Children who will turn 4 years old prior to December 1 are eligible to enroll in our free Montessori Pre-K GSRP program.  If you are applying for our Montessori GSRP program, please follow the application process above.  Once the application has been received, a representative from Char-Em's Early Childhood Education department will contact you to finalize your application and provide any additional information needed.  You can find more information on GSRP here.

Step 2: Schedule a Tour

Prospective parents/guardians will be contacted to visit the school for a classroom observation and a meeting with the school administrator and classroom guide to discuss values and goals within the Montessori pedagogy.

Step 3: Schedule Child Visit 

Families will be invited to visit the classroom. During the visit, the child will have a chance to meet the guide, orient themselves to the environment, and observe the morning work cycle.

Step 4: Notification of Availability

Once a spot opens, we will notify you we have space available for your child and verify enrollment.
