 Admission Process
Prospective parents are encouraged to visit our school and observe the classroom during a typical school day. This is the best way to know if KMS will be a good fit for your child.
We accept children as young as 2 years, 9 months in the Primary program. Children must be toilet-trained and have the ability to care for their own personal needs.
Our registration deadline is May 15. New students will have an opportunity to spend some time in the classrooms on Orientation Day, May 23. Late registrations will be accepted where space is available. Mid-year enrollments are considered at the discretion of the teachers and the Head of School.
Please call 207/453-6055 for more information or to arrange for a visit. A school video is available upon request. If you would like to speak to a current or past parent, please ask for our list of Parent Representatives.

 Parent Participation Program
Our school is for parents too! We encourage families to be actively involved in the school, which is an important part of the school’s success. The services and expertise that parents provide allow teachers and staff to focus on children, while also controlling the rising cost of education. What parents get in return is invaluable—a way to be directly involved in their child’s school, as well as a chance to meet other KMS parents.
Each parent is asked to contribute 20 hours of volunteer time as part of their enrollment commitment. Opportunities for volunteer activity include listening to emerging readers, driving on field trips, helping with publicity, assisting with our annual auction, cleaning up the grounds each spring and fall, and many other essential tasks.
 Many of our parents enrich the classrooms with special presentations on their own cultural and religious traditions, occupations and/or special interest.
Parents are also encouraged to participate in the KMS community by attending Parent Workshops and other school events.
Parent-Teacher conferences are held in the Fall and Spring.
Annual events include our Annual Auction, Spring Pot-Luck Dinner, Mothers’ Day Tea, Fathers’ Day Breakfast, and a Teddy Bear Picnic on the last day of school, as well as two concerts held at the end of each term.
