Admissions

At the Ocean State Montessori School we affirm the dignity and work of every person and strive to create and maintain a respectful working and learning environment. OSMS prohibits discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, on the basis of race, creed, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, citizenship, status as a disabled veteran, or past or present honorable military services, or any other status protected by law with respect to access to, the provision of, or employment in, OSMS’s educational services, programs and activities.  

Start With A Visit

As part of the admissions process, we require that each applicant's parent/guardian meets with our Head of School and attends either an Open House or a School Tour. Our philosophy and classrooms are quite different from traditional schools and visiting and observing is the best way to fully understand what makes our school unique. This will help you to determine if our school is the one that best meets your educational goals for your child. The Planning Your Visit page provides more information on this important first step.

The Admissions Process

All applications must be submitted online. To begin the admissions process, please submit an inquiry. Each applicant is required to participate in a pre-admission visit with our faculty as part of the admissions process. These visits begin in late January and continue until all programs are fully enrolled. Pre-admission visit details and timing vary for each program level. Visits are generally scheduled in the same order that applications are received. However, admissions decisions are based on many factors and an early visit does not guarantee placement in our programs.
