5. Interviews (Required)

All families are required to complete a new admissions interview for each child applying to The Dahlia Schools for the upcoming year. Invitations to interview will be sent once applications are received. Please note that interview times may not always be immediately available and can vary depending on the child’s age, the strength of the application, the family’s relationship with the school, and overall availability.

Children are welcome at admissions interviews, and we kindly ask that Primary families bring their child along. These conversations allow us to learn more about your family and your child’s unique qualities.

Elementary applicant families who accept rolling or early admission offers will receive sibling priority for younger children applying to our Early Childhood program. These families may also have the opportunity to interview and receive admissions decisions ahead of the standard General Admissions timeline, depending on the same factors outlined above.

6. A Day at Dahlia (Required for Elementary)

All new applicants are required to attend a Day at Dahlia after submitting their application. Current Dahlia Primary students who will be five years or older should also sign up for this experience.

During the visit, students will have the opportunity to make friends, receive Montessori lessons, and participate in French class and other extracurricular activities. This visit ensures that the school, student, and family share a meaningful, immersive Montessori experience.

Elementary applicants may be picked up at any time, and families will receive a visit summary and admissions decision shortly after. Current Dahlia Primary students only need to re-enroll by the January 10, 2026, deadline to secure their space.

Admitted applicants will then receive an enrollment agreement, required forms, and a tuition deposit invoice, which will remain available until the program reaches full enrollment.
