Enrollment

Who can attend the Charter School?

Montessori Regional Charter School is a public elementary school (Kindergarten through 6th grade) that is open to any child residing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as outlined in our Charter, in the following order of preference:

1. Children of founding families of the Charter
2. Siblings of children enrolled at the school
3. Children in the Erie and Millcreek School Districts (chartering districts)
4. All other children residing in Pennsylvania

If more students apply to the school than the number of attendance slots available for the 2008-09 school year, then the students will be selected by a lottery from the pool of qualified applicants meeting the established eligibility criteria (above) who have submitted an application by the deadline established by the school.

When all classroom openings have been filled, we will maintain a waiting list by unit.

When will the Lottery be held for the 2008-2009 school year admission?

The lottery will be held at the school on Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 6 pm. Letters will be mailed on Monday, March 17, 2008 to inform applicants of their place in the lottery.

What is the deadline for applications?

To be part of the lottery, enrollment forms must be received (either dropped off or by mail) at the Montessori Regional Charter School office no later than 4:00 pm, Tuesday, March 11, 2008.

Any and all applications received after March 11, 2008 will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which they are received.

Note: We strongly encourage interested families to complete and submit enrollment forms even after the March 11th 2008 lottery deadline. We will continue to fill openings after the lottery from the names on the waiting list.
