Admissions
A Thoughtful Path to Enrollment
Choosing the right school is an important decision. Our admissions process is intentionally designed to help families understand Montessori education, observe our classrooms, and determine whether Montessori Academy of Slidell is the right fit for their child and family.
Learn About Our Montessori Approach
Montessori Academy of Slidell offers a child-centered educational experience grounded in the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our programs emphasize independence, concentration, academic excellence, and respect for the child. We encourage families to explore our philosophy, programs, and school culture before beginning the admissions process to ensure alignment in educational values and expectations.
Experience Montessori in Action
A school tour is the most meaningful way to understand Montessori education. During your visit, you will observe our prepared environments, see children engaged in purposeful work, and learn how Montessori principles are applied in daily classroom practice. Tours are conducted by appointment and provide time for questions and conversation.
Determine Program Availability & Fit
Montessori classrooms are carefully balanced environments. Placement is based on age, developmental readiness, and classroom composition rather than first-come availability alone. After your tour, our admissions team will discuss program availability, classroom placement, schedule options, and enrollment timelines.

Open Enrollment & Waitlist
