Admissions

Welcome!


Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child into one of our Twin Parks Montessori Schools (TPMS) locations. Your educational partnership with TPMS starts here!

We are ready to help your child and family be successful and happy throughout your infant, toddler, and early childhood experience. Our admissions process will allow you to become familiar with our schools, while we get to know your child and your family.

You are invited to get to know just one or all three of our locations. When ready, we ask that families apply to just one of the Twin Parks locations. All three admissions offices are available to answer your questions when it is time to choose the campus to which you would like to apply.

2026-27 Applications Open August 1st!

Admissions Process

After the ISAAGNY admissions season is over in late February, Twin Parks Schools begins a rolling admissions season for remaining spaces. Be sure to visit our Openings page and to contact your school of interest for up-to-date information.


Applications (Required for all Applying Families)

At any point during the admissions process, families may submit their application online to hold their place in a particular location's application process. A $50.00 fee payable by credit card must accompany an application to be considered. A family photograph included with the application will help us personalize the application process for your family.


Applications for the following school year are accepted beginning August 1st and will be processed starting the Tuesday after Labor Day. The schools cannot accept an application before this date. Applications for the current school year are accepted based on availability. Please contact the school directly to inquire about current openings.

Apply Online Schedule an Info Session

Onsite Campus Tour (Optional for All Families)

After the Virtual Information Session, families will receive an invitation with a link to schedule an optional 45-minute Onsite Campus Tour. These in-person, whole campus, small group tours begin in October. An enrollment application is not required to tour. However, completion of a Virtual Information Session is required before a family tours. Because of space limitations, tours require a reservation and are designed for parents only. Virtual tours may be requested for non-local families or families with special circumstances.


Submit Child Videos (Required for all Toddler and EC Applying Families)

If you are applying for an Early Childhood or Toddler space , you will receive instructions to submit 3-4 short, informal videos of your child. Additional videos or, in some cases, a brief, in-person Child Visit may also be requested.


Classroom Observation (Optional) and Family Meeting (Required for all New Families)

Once you have completed the required steps above, you will be scheduled for a in-person appointment for a Classroom Observation and Family Meeting. During your appointment, you can choose to spend about 10-15 minutes observing in one of our Montessori classrooms, followed by a Family Meeting with the Admissions Director. The Family Meeting may also be scheduled virtually and separately from the Classroom Observation.


Parent Ambassador Program (Optional)

Families who have applied are offered the opportunity to be put in direct contact with a currently enrolled parent in order to schedule a virtual or in-person conversation, meeting, or playdate to get the benefit of their perspective on the school program and community. Parent Ambassadors are volunteers from our parent community.


Decisions and Enrollment (For all Applying Families)

Acceptances for the coming school year will be sent by electronic mail according to the ISAAGNY notification date, usually the week of March 1st, and families have one week to return the paperwork. Those families applying on a rolling basis after March will be notified upon acceptance.


When your child has been accepted to TPMS, families must submit a completed Registration Form with applicable fees to hold the place. Parent Agreement forms outlining your financial and other obligations will then be sent to you which we encourage you to read carefully. The Parent Agreement must be returned within two weeks.

 

A student’s place is fully secured when the Parent Agreement and applicable fees and deposits are on file at the School.


“We are so happy we are a Twin Parks Family, and are looking forward to another great year next year as we transition into the Orange Room.”
