Admissions Procedures

For families looking for an engaging, holistic education

Connect with us

  • Prospective parents are warmly invited to visit us for a tour and Introductory Talk to see if Michael Mount Waldorf School is a good fit for your family. We hold Open Days on select Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings throughout the year, and private tours are available upon request.
  • To start your Waldorf journey, please complete our Preliminary Application form, and we will be in contact with you shortly.

The Process

  • If a place is available, we will request specific reports and arrange an interview between the Class Teacher / Guardian, parent, and child. This provides us all with an opportunity to get to know each other better. We require that all families submit various financial documents. A TPN / ITC check will also be conducted.
  • If no places are currently available, prospective parents will be notified and children’s names may be placed on the school’s waiting list, on request.
  • Upon acceptance by the Class Teacher/ Guardian, and approval of the financial information, the Registrar will issue a registration pack containing the remaining details.
