Admissions and Enrollment

For nearly five decades, MSIM has been committed to delivering outstanding, authentic Montessori Education to the families of Boulder County and beyond.

Nestled in the farm mesas of Boulder County, our 7.5-acre ranch campus offers students a profound connection with nature, featuring expansive outdoor learning environments and flourishing community gardens.
Driven by the desire to prepare children for life, our families entrust us with providing the best foundation for their little ones. We aim to nurture curious, compassionate thinkers, instill a sense of global citizenship, and foster collaborative problem-solving skills.

  • The first step to admissions is to attend an information session or private tour. CLICK HERE to schedule your tour.

  • YCC: To enter the Young Child's Community, toddlers must be at least 12 months old and confident walkers.

    Primary: Children must be at least 2 1/2 years old and capable of using the toilet independently.

    Prior to a child starting classes, enrollment and additional required forms must be completed and submitted to the school.

    When making admissions decisions, we prioritize families whose goals and intentions for their children align with the Montessori philosophy and who recognize the enduring value of a Montessori education.

  • While our school operates independently and is tuition-based, we firmly believe that financial considerations should never be a barrier to a child's education. As we expand our programs, our commitment to accessibility remains unwavering. We actively work to provide various financial aid options and scholarships to ensure that every child has the opportunity to benefit from our enriching educational environment. We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive community where all children can thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances.
