Golden Oak Montessori School of Hayward Application Process Begins

The application process for the Golden Oak Montessori Charter School's inaugural 2009-2010 school year will begin this March.

We will soon announce the dates and locations of several informational meetings where prospective parents can hear about Golden Oak’s mission, learn details about the Montessori educational method and philosophy, discuss volunteer opportunities for parents, and find answers to other questions.

As a public school, Golden Oak is open to everyone in the community, and has the same admissions requirements as other public schools in Hayward.

An applications packet can be picked up at any of these meetings.  Completed applications should be submitted by Friday, April 17, 2009.

If the number of applications for a grade exceeds the number of available spaces in that grade, a lottery will take place on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009, and will be held in a public setting. The April 17th application deadline must be met to be included in any lottery held.

For more details, please refer to the Golden Oak Montessori website, which will be updated as dates and other details are set.
