Enrolment for 2025-26
Admissions
Thank you for your interest in our programs at Westmont Montessori School. We are offering tours at this time for all programs: Early Years (3 and 4 year-olds and Kindergarten) as well as Elementary, Middle and High School. A tour of our Montessori programs provides attendees the opportunity to view the classrooms in action and ask questions about the programs that we offer.
As a small, community-minded society, we deeply value and celebrate the unique identities and experiences of all our students. It is our utmost priority to ensure that each student receives the personalized education they deserve. Over the years, our school has experienced significant growth in diversity, with students presenting a range of neurological, physical, and socio-emotional needs. At this time, our inclusion support staff is at capacity and we have limited availability for applicants requiring individualized support for 2026-27. Rest assured, we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment that respects and nurtures the diversity within our school community.
Step 1 – Tour
Interested families are encouraged to visit our campus. Westmont has tours available every Thursday morning, during the school year, to see our programs in action.
Step 2 – Apply
Complete an online Application form and submit the application fee. Please provide any supporting documents that may be requested, i.e. report cards, diagnostic testing, specialist reports, etc.
Step 3 – Student Visit
Westmont does require that all students have a mandatory visit so that teachers can get to know your child. This visit is a half day for Early Primary and two days for Elementary/Middle School.
Step 4 – Enrolment
Enrolment may happen after the student visit. Successful enrolment depends upon available spaces, suitability for the program, and the ability to meet any special learning needs a student may have.
