Admissions

Enrollment and Tuition

Dulles Montessori School accepts enrollment of children from 16 months through 3½ years of age for our pre-primary program and 3½ through 6 years of age for the primary program during the academic school year.

The application will be accepted throughout the year on an ongoing basis. Admission is on a "first come, first serve basis" and a waiting list is maintained for future openings. As the Montessori program is individualized, a child may begin at any time during the year. The first step is to make an appointment to come visit the school with or without your child. On completion of the school tour, you will be handed an application package.

The school tuition is payable to DMS in two ways: automatic ACH debit from a Checking / Savings Account or with a Credit Card (3% processing fee is assessed on payments made with a credit card) which is payable on the first of every month. The office will provide the “Tuition Payment Form” to be completed by the parents and returned back to the school before the first day of school. All payments will be made payable to “Dulles Montessori School” on the 1st of each month.
