Required Enrollment Commitment
As a traditional Montessori school, AIM requires a minimum enrollment commitment for new students. For students applying for Infant Community and Children’s House, we require an enrollment commitment through 6 years old, thereby completing the three-year Children’s House program which comprises two years of preschool plus through and including the Kindergarten year. For students applying for Elementary programs, these are also three-year programs and commitments. Families who are unable to make this commitment will not be considered for enrollment. For more information, please email admissions@AIMmontessori.com.
