Begin by filling out our online interest form or scheduling a tour directly from our website. Touring is the first step in our enrollment process.
We invite you to tour either during our school day or at our after school option. Both tours allow you to see the beautiful materials that make Montessori unique.
After filling out your application and submitting the application fee, you will receive enrollment forms, or be notified of a waitlist and your position on that waitlist.
Finalize your child’s enrollment by submitting any required fees and forms. Once everything is complete, your spot is officially reserved!
At the time of registration, each child requires a one-time, yearly fee. Registration is $300 per child, with a family cap of $600 per year.
We welcome children in kindergarten through sixth grade. We are also introducing our Bridge to Kindergarten program, with details below. Our age-banded classrooms are thoughtfully designed to nurture each student’s growth, no matter where they are on their learning journey.
Children must be five years old by September 1 of the current year to be considered. Our Bridge to Kindergarten program is designed for children who meet this age requirement, and may desire an additional year before launching into traditional Kindergarten. This classroom runs on a 2 year cycle for those who wish to have that extra time!
Our 3-day program runs Monday through Wednesday. Our 5-day program runs Monday through Friday. Friday is an early release day, with school ending at 1 p.m.
Drop-off for all programs begins at 8:30 a.m., and class officially starts at 8:45 a.m.
Classes for all programs end at 3:15 p.m., with final pickup no later than 3:30 p.m.
Montessori education is a proven, child-centered approach that encourages independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. In our classrooms, students explore hands-on materials, work at their own pace, and are guided by experienced teachers who support both academic and personal growth.
Faith is gently woven into our daily routines and classroom culture. Children engage with stories, reflections, and values that help them develop kindness, empathy, and a strong moral foundation in a welcoming environment.
A tour is the first step in our enrollment process. After completing your tour, you will be invited to apply to Southbridge!
Once you submit your application, you will be notified of acceptance into your preferred program or if there is a waitlist. Your application holds your place on the waitlist, and will be applied to the registration fee in the event a place in the classroom opens up.
For new families, there is a $90 application fee that will be applied to the registration fee. For the 2026-2027 school year, there is a $300 non-refundable registration fee per student, with a family max of $600. Our tuition for each program can be found by following the Enrollment & Tuition link below.
Families enrolled in the 3-day program are required to register as a homeschool family in Minnesota. Families entering the 5-day program will be enrolled by Southbridge.
No, Southbridge does not offer before or after school care. Drop-off begins at 8:30 a.m., and the school day runs from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Families must pick up their children by 3:30 p.m.
