The admissions process is a partnership between each family and the school. The overarching question is how well the school resources can meet the needs and interests of the student. Our goal is to create a relationship that is supportive and collaborative, acting in the best interests of all.
How to Apply
- Register to attend a tour.
- Complete a registration form
- Once the application materials have been received, we will contact you to schedule a shadow visit for your student applicant.
- After the shadow visit, the application process is complete and an admission decision can be made.
We invite you to ask questions, schedule individual meetings, or plan a classroom observation. Call us at 510-652-7021 or email to admin@rockridgemontessori.org
The Shadow Visit
Toddlers
We invite children applying for our Toddler Community (12 months – 3 years) to meet with a classroom teacher for about 30 minutes. This meeting allows the child a brief visit to the school and to experience one of the learning environments.
Early Childhood
Applicants for the Early Childhood Program (ages 3-6) will typically spend one morning arriving at the start of school and staying through lunch with us. We may ask to administer a developmental screening during this visit.

After the shadow visit, the admissions committee reviews the application and makes a determination. If the committee makes a favorable decision, you will receive an offer of enrollment. The final step is to complete the enrollment packet and pay the enrollment deposit to secure your child’s place!
We look forward to talking with you about Rockridge and learning about your child.
