Apply
Following your school tour, we encourage you to submit an application. A small application fee is required.
We recommend that families planning for their child to start school at the beginning of the next school year apply between December and April of the prior school year. Typically, application processing begins in the early winter months. Applying during this time frame leads to a stronger possibility that space and availability will be available. We will add families to wait lists should the need arise.
Acceptance to the Fairhope Organic School
Acceptance to the Fairhope Organic School is offered to students whose abilities fall within a peer range, so that all students in a class can work comfortably together and have equal opportunities to receive time and attention from the teacher. As part of our efforts to differentiate instruction, we provide some learning support for students with the expectation that they will become self-reliant over time. However, the Organic School cannot provide extensive assistance for students with significant learning, social, and/or emotional differences.
Parental Commitment:
Parents and guardians who are supportive of our school are vital to its success and its image in the community. Having such adults in their lives is also crucial to a student’s attitude toward school and his or her ability to learn. In choosing the Marietta Johnson School in particular, you are asked to accept the responsibility of supporting the school and the Organic Family.
Volunteers are essential to our school’s well being and its educational atmosphere. Each individual student’s life is enriched by having his parents involved and committed to the school. The school expects parents to participate in activities at the school through any resources possible and to take an active part in the family activities we offer.
