The Re-Enrollment Process:
All current MSCU families must complete the re-enrollment process prior to being considered fully enrolled at MSCU for the upcoming school year:
1. Submit the MSCU Application for Enrollment online (below).
* If your child is transitioning into the Elementary program, your application requires an additional teacher recommendation, which MSCU will request on your behalf directly from your child’s current morning Directress after we receive your online application for re-enrollment.
2. Pay the Annual Enrollment Fee ($400 for first child, $300 for each concurrent sibling enrolled; can be paid online through the enrollment application form, or via cash/check/money order to the MSCU office). Your child’s spot is not reserved until the Enrollment Fee has been paid.*
* Families transitioning into the Elementary program may wait for an acceptance decision from the school before paying the non-refundable enrollment fee without losing their priority status. We strive to send an acceptance decision/enrollment documents for transitioning Elementary students via email within 3 weeks of the family completing the re-enrollment form.
3. Sign and return all required documents by their stated deadlines. Within approximately 2-3 weeks of re-enrollment application completion, acceptance decisions/enrollment documents will be sent via email to the family. Tuition agreements must be signed by the deadline stated on the documents in order to complete your child’s enrollment. MSCU reserves the right to offer the spot to other applicants, if the enrollment fee and tuition agreements are not signed by the stated deadlines.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office at (217) 356-1818 or schoolmanager@montessorischoolofcu.org. We look forward to receiving your re-enrollment application!
