What makes this different from a public school?
Students can use the time and resources they need to master skills and knowledge. Teacher observation aids assessment of individual progress.

Why is the tuition at Montessori schools so high?
Facility costs, salaries, materials and resources are usually financed by tuition and donations. Our fees are comparable to or lower than private schools in our region. Some private schools are subsidized by a connected religious facility.

Will my child transition well to a public school?
When students develop a love of learning in a stimulating and challenging classroom, their inner confidence helps them accept any new setting.
