Admissions Process: Preschool and Kindergarten

1. Apply Online

There is a $25 application fee and you will need to provide the following information:

Copy of student’s birth certificate
Official immunization record or notarized waiver

As you navigate the application requirements, remember that the Maharishi Admissions team is here to be your partner every step of the way. Access our online application.

2. Visit and Interview

The best way to know if Maharishi School is a perfect fit for your family is to come to observe the Nature Explore playground, Montessori-inspired classrooms, Consciousness-Based Education curriculum, and Positive Discipline in action— for yourself. Afterward, you will be invited to sit down one-on-one with our Children’s House Director to hear more about the program and answer any questions you have. This is also the time we will get to know you and determine together if Maharishi School is a good match for your child and their needs.

The visit and interview are arranged by appointment only. To plan a visit and interview, contact admissions@maharishischool.org or call (641) 472-9400 ext.5076.

To provide an authentic observation, we request that your first visit and interview be for parents only. A visit for your child can be scheduled at a later date.

3. Await acceptance letter

When Maharishi School’s Children’s House has a waiting list, we use the following criterion to determine each family’s place on the list, shown in order of priority:

1. Maharishi School staff children

2. Sibling of a currently enrolled student (in any division)

3. MIU faculty/staff children

4. All others in each age group, by date of application. At each age level, class sizes are held to a predetermined number of students to ensure the quality of instruction, meet government regulations, and to allow our teachers to work individually with each student.
