Dear prospective DMA families

Thank you for your interest in Del Mar Academy! We realize that choosing a school is an important process for families and we want you to feel welcome to learning more about who we are and what we do. We cordially invite you to explore our website, come on a tour, call or email us with questions and see for yourself all that DMA and Montessori education has to offer.

Our admission procedure is designed to provide you with information about the philosophy and the academic program at Del Mar and to provide us with sufficient information about your family. We consider “enrollment” in DMA to involve families as a whole, not just the student, and our goal is to select families who share in our values and who will benefit from and contribute to our school.

We welcome inquiries and applications from all families with children from 18 months to 12 years old. Although DMA accepts applications throughout the year, for optimum consideration for the upcoming school year applications should be downloaded and completed no later than the end of June (for restricted admissions in January, applications must be completed no later than the end of November).

The admissions committee assigns priority for admission according to the following criteria:

Siblings of currently enrolled students are given first priority for admission
Montessori Transferees
Commitment to the Montessori Philosophy

* Please note that non-Montessori educated children transferring into Del Mar Academy, may require an additional training period at the beginning of the school year.

Throughout the Admissions section of the website you will find information about program options, how to apply, tuition and fees, payment and forms. Should you have questions at any time during the admissions process, do not hesitate to call the school, or email us at info@delmaracademy.com. We look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Warm Regards,
Admissions Committee
