The Montessori Schools Tuition

We are committed to making our programs accessible to families who share our values and vision for early childhood education. Financial aid is available for families with demonstrated need, and we encourage all interested applicants to explore this option.

Choosing a Montessori school in NYC is an investment in a child’s early development, offering a rich, hands-on learning environment that fosters independence and creativity. Many parents find that Montessori school costs are comparable to other quality early childhood programs, with the added benefit of an approach that nurtures a lifelong love of learning. If you're exploring Montessori school prices, understanding the long-term benefits can help you make the best choice for your child’s future.

Financial Aid

Affording an Education at The Montessori Schools

We believe that a Montessori School education should be accessible to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds. Our Financial Aid program is designed to make that possible by supporting families who demonstrate financial need through a confidential and thoughtful application process.

Financial aid awards are determined annually and are based on each family’s unique financial circumstances. We partner with Clarity to ensure a fair and comprehensive assessment.

We encourage families to apply for financial aid at the same time they apply for admission. All financial information is held in the strictest confidence, and applying for financial aid does not impact admissions decisions. Financial aid applications are due December 1st, 2025.

If you have questions about the financial aid process or would like to speak with someone about your specific circumstances, please contact our Admissions Office.
