Sundrop Explorers Academy
Our mixed-age, nature-based Montessori program offers lower elementary students (grades 1-3) a robust and revolutionary school experience. Rooted in the 100+ wild acres of Gahagan Nature Preserve, our curriculum emphasizes a hands-on and discovery-led approach to learning in our screen-free, educationally rich Montessori classroom. Full Time students attend Monday through Thursday for a full school day (8:00am-3:00pm), and will receive academic instruction in all core subjects. Hybrid students attend Tuesdays and Thursdays. All Sundrop Explorers students are able to attend our Friday Home School Program at no extra cost.
Friday Home School Program
Forest School After School
Includes after care from Monday to Friday, from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM. The cost is $14 per day for full-time students (Additional $10 for Early Release Days), and part-time or drop-in care is available for $16 per day.
Bus transportation available from Roscommon Elementary School, free of charge.
After submitting your application, wait to be contacted.
Our admissions team will notify you of your enrollment status within 48 hours of applying. If your application is accepted, we will ask that you and your child attend one of our upcoming open houses to meet our teachers and tour the classroom.
Submit your enrollment deposit.
You will be invoiced for half of one month’s tuition (applied to the month of May, 2026) in order to secure your spot for the school year. If you qualify for tuition assistance, the deposit amount will be lower depending on the scholarship you are awarded. Your spot in the classroom is not guaranteed until you have paid the enrollment deposit. You may also pay for the entire school year in full and receive a 5% discount. We accept checks made payable to The Sundrop School, or cash.
