 Both campuses are currently on a waitlist. Follow links to join:

We are delighted that you are considering Montessori Learning Community of Asheville for your child.

Our enrollment process is designed to give families an authentic sense of our community and to ensure a smooth transition for every child.

Step 1:
Schedule
a Tour

Begin by scheduling a short tour of the school. This visit allows families to see our learning environment and ask initial questions.

Step 2:
Family
Visit

Next, we invite you for a Family Visit. During this time, your child will have the opportunity to spend time in a classroom, experiencing the Montessori environment first-hand. While your child explores, parents will meet with our onsite manager to review the family handbook, policies, and procedures.

Step 3:
Family
Decision

After the Family Visit, parents may take time to decide if Montessori Learning Community is the right fit for their child. We believe that this decision is best made thoughtfully and without pressure.

Step 4:
Enrollment

Once a family decides to join MLC, we will provide:

• School calendar and key dates

• Tuition rubric and deposit information

• Classroom-specific details to prepare your child for a successful start

Placement + Waitlist

Enrollment is often tied to specific classroom placements and age groups. If a spot is not immediately available, families may choose to join our waitlist. We keep in close communication and notify families as soon as a placement opens.
