Montessori Island School does not discriminate based upon age,
race, religion or physical disability. At this time, MIS
accepts Toddler children that are walking, (approx. 13 months),
to First Grade children six years of age.
The admissions
procedure at MIS is a two-fold process. It is designed to
give parents an opportunity to learn about the school, its
philosophy and policies, and to meet our faculty. It also
gives us an opportunity to assess each child's situation
and determine whether we are able to meet the needs and expectations
of the parents. Our goal is to enroll families who will both
benefit from and contribute to the school community. Tours
are available by appointment.
MIS is open year round for
enrollment, however, parents are given the option of a 10
month contract for enrollment for the regular school year
which is from August to June. Summer enrollment is available
under a separate registration with more scheduling and payment
options. Tuition can be paid as one lump sum at the beginning
of the school year with a 4% discount, (see below), or for
families convenience, in 10 equal installments on the 15th
of each month for the following month. For example, October's
tuition payment is due September 15th, November's tuition
is due October 15th, and so on. There are no tuition allowances
for absence due to sickness or family vacations, public holidays,
school scheduled vacation days or professional training days,
(see school calendar on home page).
Financial Aid is available for families
that qualify within income restrictions. This includes Wesley
House subsidies for young children, VPK, (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten),
subsidies for children that are 4 years old as of September
1st of the current school year, and the McKay Scholarships,
available to elementary and some special needs kids. Because
MIS has been awarded the status of a FLORIDA
STATE GOLD SEAL SCHOOL,
these subsidies and partial scholarships are of a higher
amount and/or greater availability than at other schools. Call
us for more information.
