Tours & Visiting Free Horizon Montessori
Given the length and content of the tour, children under six years of age are asked to NOT attend.
We
believe the best way to gain understanding of the unique benefits of
an FHM education is to experience it first hand. We invite parents and
guardians to join us for a tour where you will see our entire campus,
observe a class in session (when available), and meet with a member of
our administration to have questions answered.
Tours are typically held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings during the school year and a few
times over the summer. Tours run about one hour, with time for
questions at the end.
Tour
groups are limited in size to facilitate discussion and allow questions
to be answered, thus we ask that you use Sign-Up Genius to reserve your space. If you need to cancel or
reschedule, please make the change on our Sign-Up Genius so that your space can be offered to another parent or
guardian. For last-minute cancelations, please call us at 303-982-0275.
Visitation opportunities for children occur later in
the enrollment process. We believe tours are the best way for parents and older children to get an overview of the school. If FHM is the best fit for your child, there will be a
time dedicated to them to view their new school.
We look forward to meeting you!
Enrollment Orientation
All
parents/guardians who are new to FHM or who have been gone for more
than one school year must attend a mandatory Enrollment Orientation. At
this required meeting, we discuss the school’s philosophy, general
policies and procedures, and answer questions you might have. This
foundational meeting supports the connection between home and school
necessary for a successful educational experience. Enrollment
Orientations occur in July and August and as needed for mid-year
enrollments.
New Student Visit
This is the
time that new students are invited to visit our school to see the
campus, meet some teachers and students, and get a sense of what they
might expect at FHM. We find that students who attend a visitation have
a smoother transition to our program and approach the change in schools
with less hesitation and uncertainty.
Incoming 1st - 8th grade
students can come during a regular school day and spend time in the
classroom while their parent/guardian attends an Enrollment Orientation
and completes Annual Registration Paperwork. In the interest of
respecting classroom continuity, we cannot accommodate visitations
outside of the scheduled times. Call the school for a calendar of
times.
Incoming Preschool and Kindergarten students are invited
to attend an after school Walk About Visitation with a parent or
guardian. Dates and times for the Walk About Visitations will be posted
as soon as they are scheduled.
