ADMISSION
Children should be between 2 years 9 months and 3 years 9 months at the time of admission
to be considered for acceptance. Siblings of children currently or previously enrolled at
King's Wood will be given preference.
While the optimal time for admission is September, children may be admitted at any time
during the school year when openings exist.
The application procedure is as follows:
 | Receipt of application and fee places children on list of
applicants for age-appropriate admission. |
| Family is invited to Open House in November and March. |
| Teachers meet individually with applicants in early March. |
| Child is accepted or wait-listed by mid-March. Parents are informed by snail-mail. |
| Child is considered enrolled upon receipt of non-refundable $500 place-holding fee. |
King's Wood welcomes diversity in its student body and staff and therefore does not
discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs,
marital status, disability, sexual preference or national origin.
Families are strongly encouraged to enroll their children for the full three
year Montessori cycle, thus completing their kindergarten year here, in either a
half day or full day class.

Class Assignment
Assignment to all classes is based upon class profile, and is at the
discretion of the head teachers and the school administrator. The objective is
to optimize the balance in each class of male/female, older/younger children
whenever possible.
In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, children will remain in the
same class, with the same teacher, throughout their time at King's Wood.
Children enrolled in the afternoon class for their third/final year may be
switched to the morning class to enable them to join the Extended Day Class. The
decision to move the child will be based upon the existing class profiles, and
will be at the discretion the the head teachers and the school administrator.
Extended Day
Children currently enrolled in one of the morning classes who
have reached the age of 4 years 9 months may be eligible for the Extended Day
Class. They would have lunch in the downstairs classroom and remain there
through 3:00PM.
Requests for admission to the Extended Day Class must be made in writing to
the school administrator by March 1st of the year they are seeking admission.
The head teachers and school administrator will decide on class rosters, and
will notify parents of their decisions before the end of March.
