Classroom Observations Begin

This one-hour morning visit to the active classroom gives parents, both current and prospective, the opportunity to see students and staff during the Montessori work cycle.

Current families:  Please call 410.848.6283 to schedule your appointment.

Prospective families:  Contact Suzanne Radcliffe, Director of Admissions, to find out which program level is best for your one-hour appointment.  Call 410.848.6283 X104 or email sradcliffe@theMSW.org.

All families:  Observations are for up to two parents.  We cannot host child guests during observations except for infants in parents’ laps.  During the observation you will watch “from the sidelines” as the classroom functions.  The last portion of your hour-long classroom observation includes discussion with the Guide who will answer your questions and learn more about your child.  We ask guests to remain quiet and refrain from using cell phones during these visits to preserve the work environment.  Kindly inform the classroom Guide if you need to leave or use your phone away from our students.

The classroom observation is a requirement for admissions to the school.  Observations are offered from late October to mid-May.

Observations start at 9 AM, 9:15 AM, or 9:30 AM depending on your intended program level.
