Enrollment
Because enrollment is always changing, Alyssum Montessori encourages all interested families to apply for the school year in which they are interested.
Alyssum Montessori School has just a few openings for the 2022-2023 school-year, so Alyssum is able to consider applications for children who will be ages 3-8 by August 1st. Once our classes are full, all applicants will be added to our waitlist and contacted as enrollment changes. To accommodate preschool families we have added a few ½ day opportunities. Apply now! Our classes fill up quickly.
Updated January 21, 2022
We invite all families with children ages 3 to 8 or anyone curious about Wildflower Schools to attend a Prospective Parent Information Session on a TBD basis. Please see additional information and steps for enrollment below.

Tuition
Our 2021-2022 tuition rate was $7760 per child and intended to be an “all inclusive” rate so no extra fees will be added on top of this set amount. After school care is a separate cost. Alyssum participates in the Indiana School Choice Scholarship Program and accepts vouchers from the state for eligible K-6 families. We encourage you to start a conversation with us about how we can help you meet your goal for a Montessori education for your child. Please don’t let finances keep you from considering Alyssum as an option.
