Applying to Trinity Montessori School
Trinity Montessori is a private Christian, not-for-profit school, serving children from 12 weeks* to 12 years of age, located in the West Ashley area of Charleston, South Carolina.
In accordance with our belief, high-quality Montessori education can make a difference in the life of every child.
Here’s how the process works:
Step 1: Submit Inquiry
Begin by completing our Online Inquiry Form. Admissions will contact you via email to schedule a tour.
Step 2: Tour and Interview
Upon receipt of your inquiry form, a member of our administrative team will confirm that we have received that form, and may offer a guided tour of Trinity’s campus, schedule permitting.
This introductory visit will feature an overview of the Montessori Method, and is intended as a way for us to get to know your family, and your educational aspirations and priorities for your young learner!
Step 3: Apply
The admissions office will email the link to our online admissions application after your tour. There is a non-refundable $50 fee due at the time of submission.
Step 4: Notification and Enrollment
Admissions decisions for the 2025-2026 academic year will be sent via email by March 1, 2025. If offered a spot, you’ll receive a link to complete an electronic enrollment contract and submit a tuition deposit equal to a full monthly tuition payment, to be applied to the final month of the upcoming year’s tuition payment plan.
*Applications for Infant Program Are Closed
Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting applications for our infant program until February of 2025. Please submit inquiries beginning 1.1.25; tours will be scheduled once inquiry received.
Waitlist Policy:
Applicants accepted for all reasons other than space availability will be placed on a waitlist. The waitlist is not a traditional "first-come, first-served" system. Instead, placements are based on several factors, including:
Parent employment at Trinity Montessori School
Current siblings enrolled at the school
Previous Montessori experience
Family alumni status
Date of application submission
When a space becomes available, we will contact the first family on the list via phone or email to confirm continued interest. If we do not reach you directly, we will wait five (5) business days before moving on to the next applicant.
Once notified of an opening, you must confirm acceptance within five (5) business days. At that time, the registration fee must be submitted. If confirmation is not received within the five-day window, we will offer the space to the next family on the list.
Trinity Montessori School admits students of any race, color, or national origin and does not discriminate in its programs or policies.
