Visiting and The Enrollment Process

We’d love to have you come visit. Schedule your tour using this form.

2024-2025 School Year Openings 

Enrollment openings for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year will become available March 2025, and will run until mid June 2025. Your registration fee will be pro-rated according to the time left in the school year. Those interested in enrolling for March – June 2025 should schedule a tour or reach out to melissa@mayapple.org.

Fees and Who Should Visit

Parents/guardians, children, and their family members are welcome on tours. Please list all visitors on the tour sign up sheet so we know who to expect.

To encourage timely application, group tours in March and April are free! Individual tours incur a small fee. Schedule your visit here.

The Mayapple School school year program is designed for preschool and Kinderforest (pre-K+ program) children ages 3 – 6. Sometimes, children a little younger show readiness for the program and therefore we may accept some children as young as 2 years 9 months by the start of the school year. Applicants should be  ready for the program, have no special needs that cannot be meet by The Mayapple School, and be self-toileting during the school day.

If your child does not meet the above age requirements, please delay your visit until the following year, closer to your child’s possible start date so that your visit will be more current when you make your enrollment decision. We do not currently maintain a waitlist for future school years (2026/2027 and beyond).

While Visiting

Tours will take place at our new location, 2895 Old Fort Rd. Blacksburg VA.

Tours take approximately 45 minutes. Adults and children, please dress for the weather including walking shoes for wet ground, as tours take place indoors and out. During the tour you will have the opportunity to learn more about our day at The Mayapple School and ask questions.

Enrollment Decisions

Enrollment decisions are made without discrimination in regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, national origin; or parental age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status. Please note that at this time The Mayapple School has some, but limited ability to serve children with special needs and that all such needs must be revealed on student applications before admission.

Applications are accepted until April 1st on a “deadline” basis to allow current and past student families first scheduling choice, and thereafter on a rolling basis until spaces are filled. All applications for the 2025/2026 school year must include the registration and supply fee to be considered complete; if for any reason we are not able to offer a space for your child, your fee will be returned to you.

  1. Our family is moving from Texas to Blacksburg and are looking for a place for our 4.5yo daughter to learn and socialize with other children. I have downloaded the application and understand there is likely a waitlist, but is there an email address I can send it to? We aren’t moving until a few weeks from now.
