Interested in our school? That’s great! Due to the uniqueness of our model, attending one of our Info Sessions is highly recommended. This event is designed to provide the necessary information to help parents decide if MdM is the right school for their child. Participants learn about Montessori del Mundo’s 90/10 Dual Language Model, the Montessori philosophy and the Conscious Discipline approach to self-regulation.
Information on upcoming Info Sessions coming soon.
After registering for a session, you will receive an email with the meeting details and instructions to connect.
Please email info@montessoridelmundo.org for more information if you would like to learn more about Montessori del Mundo and are unable to attend these info sessions or if you are interested in taking an in-person tour of the school.
2024-2025 Enrollment
Keep in mind that our enrollment process consists of the following steps:
- Application (Intent to Enroll)
- Info session/tour
- Lottery
- Confirmation
- Preschool Scholarship Application (if applicable)
- Enrollment
The deadline for applications to be included in the enrollment lottery for 2024-2025 is midnight, February 9, 2024. The lottery will be held on February 15, 2024 at 10:00 am. Notification of lottery results (acceptance or placement on the waitlist) will be sent via email no later than March 3, 2024. Confirmation of enrollment is due within 48 hours of notice of acceptance. Failure to confirm within 48 hours will indicate relinquishment of a child’s seat.
Students will be accepted from the waitlist on a rolling basis as seats become available until September 30, 2024. Parents will have 48 hours after the notice of acceptance to confirm their student’s enrollment. Please refrain from calling the office to determine placement on the waitlist.
If you are interested in enrolling immediately, please contact the main office at 720-863-8629 and ask to speak to someone about enrollment for this year.
Enrollment Lottery
The lottery for all age eligible students, with a completed application submitted prior to the application deadline, will take place on the lottery date each year at the school and will be open to the public. Students will be selected for any grade that is not over-enrolled starting with Preschool 3 and proceeding up to 6th grade.
Kindergarten Lottery
Montessori del Mundo will hold 3 Kindergarten lotteries each year, for each of the three subsequent Kindergarten classes. Children can enter the Kindergarten lottery for any given class in any and all of the years that is offered.
Ex: In February 2024, a lottery will be held for Kindergarten 2026-2027, Kindergarten 2025-2026, Kindergarten 2024-2025 in that order. A child who will be eligible for Kindergarten in 2026-2027 can apply to the Kindergarten lottery held in 2/2024, 2/2025, and 2/2026.
Families applying for a preschool seat will be automatically entered in the lottery for their respective Kindergarten year. Similarly, families applying for a future Kindergarten year will be automatically entered in the corresponding preschool lottery.
Drawings for the preschool and Kindergarten lotteries for any given class of students will be conducted concurrently. As each child is drawn, they will be enrolled in both their preschool class and their subsequent Kindergarten class. It is possible that space might exist in one but not both classes in which case the child will be placed on a waitlist for the over-enrolled class and enrolled in the class with space.
Parents granted enrollment to preschool and future Kindergarten may choose not to enroll their child in the preschool but to retain their spot in the future Kindergarten class.
