Tuition and Financial Assistance

While the availability of school resources, the number of qualified applicants, and overall budgetary constraints influence financial assistance decisions, Alcuin Montessori School is committed to making awards available to as many eligible applicants as possible.  In an effort to make the process fair to all, Alcuin Montessori School considers the following when making award decisions:

The primary responsibility for financing a student’s education rests with the family. We also recognize the need to provide assistance to attract and retain a broad spectrum of students as part of Alcuin's mission. Financial aid is awarded by the year and award amounts vary from year to year.  You must apply for each school year you want to be considered for financial aid.

Both parents are expected to contribute to tuition. If a parent chooses not to work, Alcuin Montessori School imputes an annual income for a non-working parent.

In the case of divorce or separation, Alcuin Montessori School requires both parents to file an application for financial assistance. Alcuin Montessori School is not bound by any divorce agreement specifying a parent’s responsibility for educational expenses.

Alcuin Montessori School believes a family should invest in their child’s education before elective expenses, for example, secondary home ownership, club memberships, and expensive car leases/purchases.

Parent/Infant and Toddler programs do not qualify for financial aid. Auxiliary fees (entrance/facility fee, time card service, activity fees, service charges, etc.) are not part of the award.
