Thank you for your interest in the kindergarten-8th year programs at St. Vrain Community Montessori School.

 

Applicants for kindergarten positions must be 5 years old and 1st year applicants must be 6 years old as of October 1, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year.   Families interested in enrolling their child(ren) at SVCMS are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with our programs, learn more about Montessori education,  and/or arrange a visit.

 

Enrollment Process: If number of applications exceeds the number of open position for any grade, we will run a lottery for each grade, with consideration to the following priority groups: 

​

1. Currently-enrolled returning 4 year-old ("the year before the kindergarten year" Preschool-7th grade SVCMS students.

2. Siblings* of admitted K-8 SVCMS students. Sibling priority is not offered to elementary or middle school students based on an enrolled preschool sibling.  Intent to Enroll forms must be received during Enrollment Window #1 (December 1st-December 8th) to receive sibling priority. 

3. Children whose parent/guardian is an SVCMS staff member**.  Consideration may be given to FTE status.

4. All St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) residents, including inbound active duty military members, 

5. All non-SVVSD residents. 

 

Sibling Status Policy*

If sibling priority is forfeited once, sibling priority will no longer be honored. Sibling status is granted based on the assumption of continuous enrollment of the older sibling;  if the older sibling is withdrawn prior to the start of school for the younger sibling, sibling status is forfeited. Enrollment positions offered based on expired sibling priority will be revoked and the application will be processed in accordance with enrollment priority.

​

Children of SVCMS Staff **

Priority enrollment for students in the third priority category will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total SVCMS enrollment population in any given year.  Any children in this category who are not selected in the initial lottery shall be included in the general school lottery with district students in category #5.

​

Please Note: Due to recent changes to the policies governing Colorado’s Exceptional Children’s Educational Act, a review of student records is required after the open enrollment period has closed.​
