How to Apply

Tour

Tours are scheduled Tuesday through Thursday at 9:00 am or 10:30 am during the school year beginning in September. We highly recommend that all parents involved in choosing the school for a child tour before submitting an application.

Application

After all parents involved in the school decision have taken a tour, you will receive an applicatino and that you may complete and return by mail to the address above. A non-refundable $100 application fee must accompany the application. Applications will not be accepted from a Post Oak School family with a delinquent balance.

An electronic version of our application is for your review only. The Post Oak School does not accept electronic applications; parents will receive application materials from the Admission Office at the time of the school tour.

Parent Education

Prospective parents are strongly encouraged to immerse themselves in the Montessori approach by attending both parent education programs and prospective parent classes. Current Post Oak parents who plan to enroll younger siblings are invited to attend and share their experiences. These classes are held on Tuesday mornings and Monday evenings, as indicated on the class schedule.

Assessment

After you have submitted an application, we will contact you to schedule an assessment. Assessments for Primary children (2˝–6 years old) and Elementary students will be held at the end of February. Middle School interviews will be scheduled as needed.

Transcript

A transcript from a child’s current school is required for students in grades 1–8. We require the two most recent progress reports and the most recent achievement-test scores.

Teacher Recommendation

Sign a confidential teacher-recommendation form, obtained from the Post Oak website, which should be completed by your child's current teacher.

Admission Decisions

The head of school appoints admission committees whose responsibilities are to examine each prospective student's application, test scores, and academic record, and make enrollment recommendations to the head of school. Admission decisions are released after re-registration of current students and the completion of student assessments at the end of February. Decision letters will be mailed to families in March.
