International students

A note from the Admissions office

WMS Admissions will not be holding in-person tours or visits until further notice due to COVID-19 precautions. We understand that this greatly impacts the Admissions process, and have created supplementary tour materials that are available upon request. Please email us for the materials or with any questions at admissions@woodinvillemontessori.org, or chat with us live Monday-Friday between 9-11 a.m. We look forward to hearing from you!

Woodinville Montessori School welcomes international student applications. We offer English Language Learning support, but we do not have a formal ELL program. Housing is the responsibility of the student’s family.
Please contact the Admissions Department before submitting an application, or with any other questions. 

Application checklist:

  • Submit an online Application through Ravenna ($200 nonrefundable application fee for international applicants), which includes basic applicant information, a parent statement and a student statement.
  • Submit two (2) teacher evaluations through Ravenna (one from a math teacher, and another from an English teacher).
  • Submit student report cards for the prior two years and the current year.
  • Submit TOEFL results with a minimum score of 67.
    • If students have attended school in the U.S. for two years or more, TOEFL scores are not required.
  • When we have received the completed application and above items, we will conduct a Parent/Student interview with our Head of School, Secondary Program Director and Director of Admissions through video conferencing.
  • After all application requirements have been met and the Parent/Student interview is complete, we will notify you of an admissions decision.
