Admissions

We are so glad that you are considering admissions to Ambleside School of Fredericksburg. 

The first step in the admissions process is a school tour with the Head of School and Director of Admissions. While you are here, you will learn about Ambleside’s philosophy and method of education. You will tour the school, observe in classrooms, see examples of student work and have the opportunity to talk through any questions you may have. We ask that children remain at home for the first visit. Applicant students will be welcomed to the school at a later date for an assessment and/or observation day.

Contact us to schedule a school tour Tuesday - Friday. You can reach out by phone or email. (830) 990-9059 / admissions@amblesidefredericksburg.com
