At Milldam, children and parents share in the experience of learning, growing, and participating together. A cooperative school is a meaningful commitment for the whole family, and our admissions process is designed to help you get to know the unique qualities of our program and philosophy. When your family joins Milldam, we work together to create a warm, supportive, and engaging experience for all children.

The application for the 2026-2027 school year is available online here. The application for new families for the 2027-2028 school year will be available on October 1. Please note that the application includes a link to submit the required non-refundable $50 fee online as part of the application process.

Enrollment Policies
Enrollment priority is given first to currently enrolled families and siblings of current students, followed by siblings of recent Milldam alumni, then children of Milldam alumni, and finally new applicants. After January 1, applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, and alumni or sibling preference no longer applies.
We will notify parents of their child’s enrollment status by January. Should a family be offered placement, the membership committee will follow up with information on the required forms and $1000 non-refundable deposit to secure your child’s enrollment.
