Step 1: School visit and introduction to EMC. A school visit introduces EMC and the Montessori method. Families are informed about EMC's non-discrimination policy during the visit. Eligibility by environment is determined by observation, with Toddler Community for ages 1–2, Primary up to 3.5 years, Elementary 6–7 years, and Erdkinder around 12. Step 2: Submission of the application. The application is submitted along with required documents. Documents required include the Application Form, an ID (birth certificate or passport), a recent photograph, a Health Form, and Previous School Records (if any); recommendations for the Adolescent Program may also be requested. Enrollment forms and related documentation are available for download. Step 3: Parent observation. The parent observes the child in an EMC environment. The observation is conducted to inform placement decisions. Step 4: Pupil observation. The child is observed by EMC staff to assess readiness and placement. Observations inform placement decisions. Step 5: Notification of decision. Notification of the admission decision is given. The Head of School communicates the outcome to the family. The decision is communicated to the family.
