The MCPM Board of Directors believes in removing barriers for economically disadvantaged students, which include subgroups that might be under-resourced in comparison to community members who are not economically disadvantaged. Research has proven that the Montessori model reduces the achievement gap. We additionally believe, and research supports, that diversity makes a learning community better for everyone, and MCPM seeks this diversity because of the academic, social, and community benefits for all of our students.

As part of our commitment to being a diverse school community, we will implement a weighted lottery. Students who meet the income guidelines for the federal Free and Reduced Lunch program may be enrolled in the weighted lottery. Additionally, in order to address the Federal Desegregation order for the Asheville City School district, families may enter a weighted lottery if they identify as a racial minority. These weighted lotteries are optional for eligible families.

Students are eligible for kindergarten if they turn 5 years old by August 31, 2023.
