Highland Hills Montessori School serves a specific population of children and families. Our admissions process is designed to ensure mutual fit and long-term success. We enroll children who are ready to participate in a structured, calm, academically rich environment with clear behavioral expectations.

​

Our Ideal Student

Highland Hills is an excellent fit for children who:

​

• Demonstrate advanced curiosity, reasoning, or academic ability

• Enjoy focused work and intellectual challenge

• Can accept adult guidance and classroom limits

• Are developing strong levels of emotional regulation and social maturity

• Benefit from predictable routines and clear expectations

We support children’s growth—but we do not replace foundational boundary-setting that must exist at home.

Important Fit Considerations

Highland Hills is intentionally designed as a calm, academically focused Montessori school. Our program serves children who are ready to engage responsibly within clear expectations and contribute positively to a focused learning environment.​

​

We believe clarity about fit is respectful to families, children, and staff.

Our Classroom Expectations

All children at Highland Hills are expected to work toward:

• respectful language and behavior

• safe movement and appropriate voice levels

• care for materials and the environment

• full participation in classroom routines 

• fully toilet independent upon entry

• able to meet advanced academic expectations if participating in our K-2nd Grade program

​​

Highland Hills is designed for children who are ready to participate responsibly within these expectations.
