Tuition Assistance Program:
The Montessori School seeks to assure economic diversity in our classrooms and to prevent any child enrolled in the School from having to leave due to a family fiscal crisis. Information on our Tuition Assistance Program is available through the Admission and Business Offices.
Programs and Eligibility:
All children under age 5 are expected to attend 5 mornings a week, 9:00am - Noon, without exception. Children age 5 and older are expected to enroll in the Full Day Program (9:00am - 3:15pm). The Extended Day (Nappers) Program is available to younger children.
TODDLER students begin the program at approximately age 14-18 months. At age 2-½, Toddlers generally transfer into a Primary classroom.
Beginning PRIMARY students must be between the ages of 2-½ and 3-½ unless transferring from an accredited Montessori school. PRIMARY students must be toilet-trained. The Primary Program is a progressive learning cycle which prepares the student for first grade. Students are expected to stay for the full cycle.
ELEMENTARY students must be at least age 6 to begin the Elementary Program. The elementary students complete 3-year cycles at both the lower and upper elementary level.
Fees:
Registration: There is an annual, non-refundable Tuition Deposit of $1,500 payable with the contract for each student to reserve a place in the school.
Enrollment Fees – New Students Only: A $2,000 Enrollment fee is due upon signing of the contract in addition to the Tuition Deposit.
