How To Apply

Please see our admissions process below:

For information, or to discuss our programs, please submit an online inquiry form. Christiane Leitinger, our Director of Enrollment Management, will contact you upon receipt of your information, or you can contact her directly at cleitinger@montessori-evergreen.org or call 303-674-0093.

We offer in-person and virtual tours from Monday through Friday. You can schedule a tour with our Director of Enrollment Management, Christiane Leitinger, or call her at 303-674-0093 to schedule a tour. All tours include an in-depth explanation of the Montessori Method and an opportunity to ask your questions. In-person tours include an opportunity to observe in classrooms. We value the partnership between your family and our school, and look forward to getting to know you, and your child, during the admissions process.

Submit your application electronically by clicking on the link below. Applicants for 1st grade through 8th grade require report cards, standardized assessments or psycho-social assessments that have been administered by your child’s school or your family has commissioned, as well as teacher recommendations, which you can upload in the application. If you do not have your student’s records electronically, then please complete the Records Request Form and give it to your child’s current school. They will then send MSE an official copy of your child’s records.

For Applicants to Pre-K and Kindergarten: A Readiness Visit is a 15-20 minute meeting with our teachers to assess the developmental readiness of the child and for the child to visit the classroom.

For Applicants Grades 1-6: 

MSE will accept the results from any testing that an applicant has completed within the last year, such as the CogAT, WISC, DAS, MAP, ERB, CCRA, among others. There is no need for the applicant to take more than one test, and the Admission Committee does not prefer one test over another.

• If submitting CogAT, MAP testing and/or other standardized testing (such as the ERB) from the applicant's current school, request that the school send those results along with report cards and attendance records through the Records Request Form.
• You may submit WISC or DAS scores directly to Admissions. As an option, you may register your child for testing with an evaluator from the DATC (Denver Area Testing Consortium). Please contact Admissions to request assistance if the fee is a hardship.

For Applicants Grades 7 to 8: 

Submit results from standardized testing or educational evaluation that a student has completed in the last year.

Examples include the WISC, DAS, CogAT, Stanford Binet, MAP testing, ERB, CCRA, among others. There is no need for the applicant to take more than one test, and the Admission Committee does not prefer one test over another.

• If the applicant does not have recent testing, you may register them for WISC or DAS testing with an evaluator from the DATC (Denver Area Testing Consortium). Please contact Admissions to request assistance if the fee is a hardship.

Shadow Days: 

When your child’s admission’s file is complete we will schedule Shadow Days (for grades 1st through 8th) for your child. Shadow Days are two consecutive four-to-six hour visits, so the student can get to know our school, and so we can get to know the student.

After the Readiness Visit/Shadow Days the Admissions Committee carefully considers each family and student. An enrollment offer is sent electronically once the committee decides to offer enrollment.
