Montessori by the Sea: Admissions & Scholarships for Families

Montessori by the Sea (MBTS) on St. Pete Beach has outlined its admissions process, highlighting financial aid and scholarship opportunities for prospective families. The school offers a virtual tour to showcase its programs and facilities.

Families interested in enrolling at MBTS can utilize several financial aid options. The school accepts Step Up for Students and The Hope scholarship awards. MBTS also participates in the Florida VPK Program for four-year-old children. For additional assistance, the school offers need-based financial aid grants processed through TADS, a third-party assessment organization.

The MBTS admissions process includes five steps. Prospective families can begin with a virtual tour. The second step involves submitting an application. The Primary program is full for the 2026-2027 academic year. After application submission, the Director of Admissions contacts the family. If space is available, the family will be invited to visit the campus, followed by notification of the admissions decision.

Families can find more information about the Montessori philosophy and admissions steps on the school's website. Those seeking financial aid can create an account and apply via the TADS portal. The school encourages parents to explore the virtual tour and review the fee schedule.
