Thank you for considering VMS! We invite you to explore our Toddler–Grade 8 program offerings and discover the VMS difference.
We approach education as a joyful experience, one that stimulates critical thinking, creativity, oral and written expression, collaboration, and much more. Alongside a diverse curriculum, we ensure that VMS students not only achieve success but also develop the skills necessary to thrive and be happy in the world beyond VMS.
Admissions Process
We are excited to get to know your family and support you through the admissions process. The first step in our partnership begins with completing the inquiry form below. When a space becomes available, the Admissions Team will email you an invitation to tour our campus, observe our classrooms, and meet the Head of School. We look forward to connecting with you!
Vineyard Montessori School admits families of any race, color, religion, and national origin to all rights, privileges, and activities made available at the school. It does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, disability, cultural heritage, political beliefs, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational or admission policy. Toilet training status is not an eligibility requirement for enrollment at Vineyard Montessori School.
1. Say Hello
Submit our online INQUIRY form. This allows our team to start the application process and answer any initial questions you have.
2. Visit Us
If a space is available, you will be invited to schedule a tour with the Head of School. This gives you an opportunity to observe the classrooms, learn more about us, and have all your questions answered. Elementary and Middle School students will be invited to spend a day with us.
If a space is not available at this time, your child’s name will be placed in our wait pool. When a space becomes available we will contact you to set up a visit.
3. Enroll
After your visit, an Enrollment Contract and Tuition Assistance application will be emailed to you. Offers of enrollment are valid for 2 business days and can be secured by returning the signed contract and paying a $300 deposit toward your tuition. You will then be invited to create an account in our online portal and fill out enrollment paperwork. Younger children will be invited to schedule a visit to the classroom prior to commencing and are supported in this transition with a “phase-in” period.

Your child and your family are now part of our VMS community.
