Admissions
1. We accept students throughout the year, depending on available spaces. Montessori Nations School welcomes children of all nationalities and cultures, with a simple and accessible admission process. Parents are encouraged to schedule a visit to Montessori Nations School to discover our classrooms, teaching team, and educational approach. A personalized first visit is offered to answer all questions.
2. To apply for admission, complete the Pre-enrolment form (Admission Application). The form collects pupil details, including the pupil's name, sex, and private address, as well as the legal representative information. It asks about the language spoken at home and languages spoken or understood by the pupil, and collects health and family information; changes of address must be communicated in writing. Montessori Nations may request additional information from the current school or parents, administer placement tests, or conduct an extra interview if deemed necessary. There is also a section for acceptance of financial conditions.
3. After submitting the form, admission decisions are made based on space availability. The school may contact the current school or parents for additional information and may request placement tests or an extra interview if necessary. The guardian confirms understanding of the Conditions for Admission and the Fees Agreement and agrees to their terms. The agreement states that disputes fall under the jurisdiction of the Geneva courts. A section may ask about employer education grants as part of the financial conditions.
