[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI - If your household income is below $87,360, you receive priority admission to Montessori in Arlington and the tuition is free (for 3 and 4 year olds). [/quote]

Montessori is tough to get into in K because the classroom is preschool and K in one; 1st - 3rd grade in 'early elementary' classroom. Also think about if you want your kid folded into an established cohort.

I am not clear where you are moving from. So Arlington is friendlier and lower key than some parts of N Arlington, but that said, Long Branch is one of the more low-key, so is Ashlawn and so are Abington and Patrick Henry and Claremont. HOWEVER, if you moving here from a place that is not in the Northeast, you may find what the dog-eat-dog poster is saying to be a bit true at all of these: Arlington is filled with highly educated progressives, who hope their child will go to an elite private or public college.[/quote]

It used to be hard to get in for K but no longer. I think they removed the requirement for previous Montessori experience a few years ago. There is an APS Elementary Montessori Prospective Parent Reception coming up in a few weeks. Check out http://www.arlingtonmontessori.org/home for more details. [/quote]
