YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL
The Golden Rule accepts students aged 2.5+ for school. Students must be potty-trained.
Our school is year-round. The school year starts the first weekday after Independence Day and continues, loosely following a 6 week on 1 week off schedule, until the Friday before Memorial Day.
The Pre-K program is four hours a day, five days a week. You may choose a 3-, 4-, or 5-day placement for your child. If you enroll your child in a shorter week, the days must be sequential. In addition to the curriculum below, we offer multiple guest presentations and field trips to our students.
Our K+ program is 5 days a week.

A student matches objects
to beginning sounds.
Admissions Process
The admissions process begins with a classroom tour and meeting with the director. This allows the prospective family to get a comprehensive understanding of
The Golden Rule classroom and the Montessori Method (you can also learn more about that by visiting our Montessori page).
We believe the one-on-one time allows for each family to work with the director on any specific questions or concerns. After the tour, the family is encouraged to fill out an application. A $75 registration fee is required to reserve a child’s spot. An application may be filled out without the registration fee, however your child’s spot will not be secured until the fee is paid.
Please contact us to set up a time for an introductory tour at 304-920-0047 or goldenrulewv@gmail.com.
Acceptance to The Golden Rule is based on availability. To secure your child's spot, a non-refundable enrollment fee of $75 will be due upon acceptance.
