Enrolling Your Child

Maryland Avenue School is a K-8 neighborhood based Montessori school located in the heart of Milwaukee’s historic and culturally diverse East Side. Maryland Avenue School has been a part of the neighborhood for over 110 years. As one of Milwaukee’s original K-8 schools, we provide a quality education that prepares students for high school and beyond.

Student enrollment preferences are collected each February for enrollment the following fall.

The Maryland Avenue Montessori age of entry is three. The child must be 3 on or before September 1 of the year of entry.

Enrollment Windows: 2021-2022 School Year

• Kindergarten Enrollment: February 6 to March 21, 2021

The enrollment period for new K3 and K4 students begins on February 6th and goes thru March 21st 2021. It does not matter if you apply on February 6th or March 21st, all applications are pooled and sorted in late March.   The first enrollment priority goes to siblings of current MAM students, the next ring of enrollments is a percentage of students within our one mile walk zone, the next ring of enrollments is a percentage of our five mile bus zone, all remaining applications are randomly assigned until our slots are filled and the balance of applications are randomly assigned a waitlist position.

You will be notified around the middle of April regarding enrollment status.

One tip: if you are truly interested in a public Montessori education you should list one of our other MPS Montessori Schools as your 2nd and 3rd choice schools.  Because enrollment in the later grades is based on a preference for prior Montessori experience; getting a Montessori start gives you a better chance at being able to transfer to MAM should a spot open up.

Once enrollment at MAM is confirmed- a parent/guardian must provide the following documentation to the school PRIOR to the first day of school to secure your child’s spot.

• A certified copy of the child’s birth certificate.
• Proof of Milwaukee residency.
• The child’s immunization records.
• Call MPS Central Services at 475-8467 to receive a booklet about school registration.
