Pre-Elementary Admissions

"Thank you Bellevue Montessori for our happy experiences this year. We have been impressed by every aspect of this school, have had literally no negative experiences the entire year and too many positive ones to recount, from the friendly attitude of all the faculty and staff, the organized manner in which the school is run, and the flexibility of the Activity Club. I have recommended Bellevue Montessori to many friends."
