A necessary part of our application process is a meeting with our Director of Admission and Enrollment Management, Nikki Toon, for a tour with classroom observations. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the Montessori philosophy and the educational process at Thacher.

Private appointments are accepted at 9:00 or 10:00 a.m., October 9 through February 4.

Please contact our Admissions Department to schedule your tour: Nikki Toon 617-361-2522, x 11.

Applications and a $50 application fee per child are due no later than
January 31.

The application will be considered complete after parents/guardians have observed in the classrooms, the student has visited, and we have received your application and fee. For children with prior school experience, we also require a completed teacher evaluation form.

Online Application Form

After meeting with Nikki Toon, our Director of Admissions, and your application is received, your child’s visit will be scheduled. The purpose of this visit is for Thacher guides (teachers) to interact with prospective students to help us determine if Thacher is the best environment for your family.

Children’s House applicants visit with guides in small groups while their parents talk with faculty. Toddler and Children’s House interview day is Thursday, February 13, 2020.

Applicants for the Elementary and Adolescent Programs spend one or two entire days in a classroom and work individually with a guide. This will give your child the opportunity to work with other students and experience a typical day at Thacher.

Decision letters are mailed on March 10, 2020, for entry in September 2020.

We respectfully request your response no later than April 10, 2020.
