“Life in the open air, in the sunshine, and a diet high in nutritional content coming from the produce of neighboring fields improve the physical health, while the calm surroundings, the silence, the wonders of nature satisfy the need of the adolescent mind for reflection and meditation. ”
Maria Montessori
From Childhood to Adolescence, p. 67

Today is the last day to include a photo of your child engaged in work in this year's Gala auction book!

When you register to attend this year’s Gala, you still have one more day to include a special add-on: a Family Ad in our Gala auction book.

This is a wonderful way to celebrate your child’s Montessori experience with a photo of your child at work in their classroom. Family Ads are $100. Please be sure to check the "Family Ad" box during registration to give us time to include it in the auction book design.

Thank you for supporting Litchfield Montessori School and helping make this year’s Gala a success. We look forward to celebrating together!

2026–2027 Re-Enrollment Process

As we prepare for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year, families will receive an email from TADS in the coming weeks with instructions to begin the re-enrollment process.

This year, the process will look a little different—and we hope simpler.

 

What’s New for 2026–2027

Earlier registration:
Registration forms that are typically completed over the summer will now be included as part of the February re-enrollment process.
Financial aid applications:
Families who wish to apply for financial aid will be prompted to do so during the re-enrollment process.
Financial aid deadline:
The deadline to complete the financial aid portion of re-enrollment will be in March.

Looking ahead...
