The Montessori School is a private school with no supplementing organization. The enrollment and tuition contract is based upon a ten-month academic year. When you enroll your child(ren) in the school, you automatically enroll for the entire year and you are responsible for tuition for the entire ten (10) month period. The school cannot function any other way and continue to provide a quality educational program for students.

Financial Aid

The school makes a strong commitment to financial aid to families on the basis of clearly demonstrated need. When school fees appear beyond reach, families are urged to apply for tuition assistance.

Recognizing that tuition and fees will be difficult for some, the Board's commitment to financial aid on the basis of demonstrated need has never been stronger. Almost 16 percent of our student body receives some form of financial aid.

Further information about the financial aid application process and forms for a financial aid request are available from the school office.
