HOW TO APPLY

1

Request a Virtual Tour of MBA

The first step is to request a virtual tour of our school. It is an in-depth presentation of MBA, allowing you to get all the information you require almost instantly. Once requested, it will be delivered directly to your inbox.

2

Submit An Application

Once you have completed your virtual tour and are ready to apply, you can submit an application form. We are happy to remain available to answer any questions you might still have prior to applying. Send us an email at contact@mbalisbon.com

In-person Tour

Once your application form submitted, you will be contacted by an Administrator that will help you schedule a meeting for an in-person tour with our Head of School. In-person tours are scheduled for weekday mornings. This gives prospective families a chance to see the uninterrupted morning work cycle: a hallmark of Montessori education.

Your visit will start with a tour of the school, followed by a chance to sit and observe a class at work. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to have a discussion with our Head of School. We are interested in getting to know you and your child, as well as in understanding your motivations and expectations. The knowledge gained by both parents and MBA is a key step towards creating a team spirit and a wonderful relationship based on trust. MBA places a high priority on identifying families who support our mission and whose values and goals for their children’s education are a close match with those of our school. Once a student is enrolled at MBA, we will work in partnership with each family to ensure that each child receives the most positive, enriching and successful school experience.

Please allow 1 hour for your campus visit. Please note that this initial visit is for adults only (both parents should attend the tour if applicable and possible); your child will have an opportunity to visit the classroom and the teacher at a later date.

Child Visit

After your in-person tour completed, we will invite you to schedule a visit for your child to explore the classroom and meet the Lead Teacher. This is an opportunity for your child to explore the classroom and connect with our guides, as well as a chance for us to work together to determine how/whether a transition into an MSB classroom is most appropriate for your family.

Toddler and Primary applicants are invited to meet with the guides in the classroom after the end of the regular school day, typically around 4:00 in the afternoon. This is a chance for your child to explore the environment and work with one of our classroom guides. A member of the admission team will also be available to answer additional questions you might have.

Join the MBA Community

Once the above mentioned steps completed, including the payment of the application fee (50€ deductible from the enrollment fee if your child is offered an enrollment space), we will finalize the review of your application and inform you of an admission decision. If admitted, an enrollment contract will be sent at the same time.

Attend our welcoming events, read and subscribe to our blog and newsletter, or connect with us on social media to get acquainted with the warm and welcoming MBA community.

In cases of high classroom enrollment, we will admit children to a waiting pool, and will notify families as soon as a space for your child becomes available.
