Tuition Notes
Annually, North Shore Montessori School grants tuition assistance of up to 50% to families who desire a Montessori education for their children. Those eligible to apply must first be accepted into the Montessori program or are currently enrolled. The funds for the financial aid program come from individual gifts to the school and other fundraising events and are therefore limited. Wrap-around care programs are not eligible for financial assistance.
Varies by program.
