Students coming from non-Montessori backgrounds are accepted. Prior to acceptance of any new student (K-8) we require a basic academic screening, two years of report cards, and two years of standardized assessments (MAP, FSA, VPK tests, or similar) from the student’s previous school, and samples of current homework. In general we are looking for students who are performing at grade level and have good conduct and effort grades.
To begin the registration process, please first call or email to request a tour of the school and interview (786-738-1210, information@atalamontessori.org).
Registration forms Our academic fee schedule for 2025–2026 is $8100 for school-age students (Kindergarten through 8th grade).

We suggest that all students wear uniform shirts Monday through Thursday. While we recommend a basic khaki uniform pant, they are not required. Our Atala uniform shirts are available in purple. They are available through Ibiley Uniforms and More in Homestead (https://www.ibiley.com/dresscode.aspx?ar=AR07ATALAM&dp=PK-8).
