1. Take a Tour.

To schedule a tour, please complete our online form below or call the Undercroft office at (918) 622-2890. We schedule tours in the morning on a school day, which will give you a chance to see how a Montessori class works from an observation room. Our Head of School will lead the tour, providing an overview of Undercroft and the Montessori approach to education.  We ask that young children not accompany their parents on these tours, though they will have a chance to see the school during the introduction to the environment process.

UMS Information and Application Packet

2. Complete and Submit Enrollment Application.

After touring the school, submit an application for enrollment, accompanied by a student photo and a $50.00 non-refundable application fee. For students who have prior school experience, the application should include all school records. A records request form is available to download here: Request School Records. For applicants at the lower elementary level and above, a completed Teacher Recommendation Form is also required. A Teacher Recommendation form is available to download here: Teacher Recommendation Form. Tuition Assistance in the form of tuition reduction is available on a limited basis to families who have been enrolled at Undercroft for at least one year.

3. Interview and Introduction to the Classroom Environment.

When we receive a completed application, we will schedule an introduction to the environment for the student. Introductions take place at 3:30 p.m. and are conducted by one of our guides (teachers). There is no formal testing involved. The teacher visits with your child to get a feeling for where he/she is in his/her social and academic development. For older students (lower elementary and above) our application process also involves a shadow experience in the classroom. A primary aim of the application process is to determine readiness for school and assure a successful transition to Undercroft upon acceptance.

When the introduction is complete, the application package is reviewed by a team to make enrollment and placement recommendations. Applicants will receive a call from the school conveying the decision of the admissions team, usually within a couple of weeks following the introduction.
