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. While you are here, you will learn about Ambleside’s unique 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 student Discovery Day.

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