“To stimulate life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself--that is the first duty of the educator.”

— Maria Montessori

RISING ORIENTATIONS

Parents and caregivers, please join us for our Rising Orientation meetings next week. Parents and caregivers of children moving up to the next level either this year, this summer, or in the upcoming year should attend to learn about their child's transition and the world of Montessori at each level. These meetings are for adults only. Children may join Laurel Club with an RSVP. Unsure if this meeting is for you? Please reach out to your child's teacher or Meg DeMato for more information.

2023-2024 Enrollment Contracts

Enrollment Contracts for the upcoming school year were delivered today. Contracts are due on March 1st, before we open slots for new families coming to join the MLMS community.

MLMS offers a proprietary Loyalty Tuition Credit System. For every academic school year of attendance at MLMS (Toddler through Elementary), each student earns 8% tuition credits which may be applied to the MLMS Middle School program, up to a total of 75%!

At the time of parental commitment to MLMS Middle School, MLMS will commit to the Loyalty Tuition Credit System for 3 years of Middle School.

Credits may:

● Not exceed 75% of the yearly Middle School tuition (based on tuition fee schedule at

the time the student reaches grade 6).

● Be used only for Middle School tuition at MLMS and have no cash value, should the

student leave MLMS regardless of circumstances.

● Only be applied to tuition and will not apply to other fees (such as books and trips).
