Students entering Stepping Stones into Montessori, Pre-school, or Kindergarten are invited to a 30 to 60 minute visit/assessment [age appropriate] with one of the teachers in these programs.  Students entering grades 1 to 8 are invited to spend a school day at the Academy with our students.  These visits offer the students an experience at AAA and provide the admissions department with general information regarding readiness and placement. 
6. The decision to accept a student is made by the principal and/or Montessori coordinator and the admissions coordinator.  Should more information be needed to determine your child's readiness or placement, you will be contacted by a member of the admissions team, which may necessitate an additional visit, a pre-registration appointment, or a request for information from the student's current school.  Upon acceptance, families are invited to a formal registration to meet with the Academy’s director, principal, and admissions coordinator.
7. The admission fees include application [$50], assessment [$80 to $100, age/grade appropriate], registration [$50], and deposit [$600].  Application and assessment fees are due prior to the student visit.  Registration and deposit fees are due at the formal registration appointment.
