1. Enrollment preference is given to families who currently have a child enrolled in the school, as well as to families with a firm commitment to Montessori philosophy and to bilingual or native English-speaking families. The school is located in Gójar, Carretera de La Zubia, 12, 18150 Granada, Spain. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
2. Visits and Observations: All interested families are welcome to visit the facilities. For the 3 to 6 year-old program, the visit includes access to the Observatory to observe the Children's House classroom in action; access to this space is limited to adults, and silence is required to avoid disturbing the learning rhythm. For the Elementary program, direct observations are possible, and children over 6 may spend a week in the classroom prior to enrollment.
3. Admissions Criteria: The admission criteria focus on creating a balanced, mixed-age, heterogeneous group and are based on equality of opportunity with no discrimination based on race, beliefs, sexual orientation or religion. Preference is given to children enrolled in the previous year and their siblings. New students enter by order of application, after taking into account the needs of the existing group, the level of English language of the child, and the family's commitment to Montessori philosophy and International Education. For children above the age of 6, previous Montessori experience is recommended.
