Alexandria Montessori provides an educational program for students ages six to fourteen. The governing board has adopted the following racial nondiscrimination policies:

1. The school recruits and admits students of any race, color or ethnic origin into all the rights, privileges, programs and activities. The school will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or ethnic origin in administration or its educational policies, scholarships, loans fee waivers, educational programs and athletics/extracurricular activities. In addition, the school is not intended to be an alternative to court or administrative agency ordered, or public school district initiated desegregation.

2. The Alexandria Montessori School will not discriminate on the basis of race color or ethnic origin in the hiring of its certified or non-certified personnel.

3. Students must be at least six years of age by September 30 of the school year to be eligible for admittance. The only exception to this would be students who are eligible for an early admission appraisal or a special needs student.

4. Placement of students in the multi-age-level program is determined according to the following criteria: observation by parent or guardian, a half day visit including an interview with a teacher by the prospective student, the student’s previous academic experience especially that in Montessori, and performance as recorded on available cumulative records. The child’s social maturity is also taken into account when a placement is made.
