Registration & Application Process
The same process applies to all our schools
Admission Criteria
St. Nicholas Montessori Schools do not operate a selective admissions process, other than to ensure that siblings of children already in the school are offered a place. We operate according to an inclusive and non-discriminatory educational ethos that is child centred and based on the philosophy of Maria Montessori.
St. Nicholas Montessori Society and Schools do not adhere to a specific religious doctrine and as such can be described as Multi-denominational.
We do seek to achieve a cohoesive balance of pupils in each classroom and across the school in terms of gender, age (in multi-age classrooms) and learning needs (including additional learning needs). However, these considerations will never prevent a child from enrolling in our schools.
