Admission Process
"People ask: What is the Waldorf difference? Problem solving, creative thinking. Learning to do everything and being willing to do everything." -Emily Becker Whyte, MWS graduate, 1994
At our elementary school we schedule morning tours each month, please call the school for a schedule and to register. These tours give you a chance to see the school in person, visit classes in session and have your questions answered. You may also arrange an individual visit and tour with Lisa Mahar.

Monadnock Waldorf School is committed to enrolling an economically diverse student body. Each year our school awards in excess of $150,000 in financial support for children in grades one through eight. Families of elementary school students may apply for aid when the school has received your admissions application. 
Your child’s teacher will set up a time to meet with you and your child, to assess your child’s development, to gather biographical information, and answer your questions.
- Child’s Class Visit as Appropriate
The teacher will arrange for your elementary age child to visit the classroom. Nursery and Kindergarten students may also visit with a parent.
- Notification of Acceptance
An acceptance letter and enrollment packet will be sent to you at home.
Your deposit must be received to reserve your child’s place in the classroom. Next you will meet with our bookkeeper, Jo-Anne Yardley to set up your tuition agreement. She will outline the several payment options.
We are happy to receive applications after the school year has started. They are accepted and processed provided there are spaces available.
