A Powerful Investment in Your Child's Future

Prime Foundation Montessori’s tuition is meticulously crafted to finance comprehensive educational and childcare program opportunities, attract and retain highly qualified faculty and staff, and establish an environment that elevates the learning experience for all Prime students. By doing so, we aim to empower them to become self-assured and independent learners throughout their lives.

In recognition of the importance of accessibility, Prime Foundation Montessori’s tuition fees are significantly lower compared to other independent schools in the region. To cater to the diverse financial circumstances of families, we have implemented flexible payment plans that distribute the tuition over the academic year. These plans ensure that families can comfortably cover the educational and childcare expenses associated with their child’s enrollment.

The tuition fee encompasses the comprehensive educational and childcare experience, including the provision of Montessori classroom materials.

2025 - 2026 TUITION

Prime Foundation Montessori is currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 academic year. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are due by Friday, February 21, 2025. While applying is an essential step in the admissions process, it does not guarantee acceptance. Prime Foundation Montessori also accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year, contingent upon availability.

Parents interested in enrolling for the ongoing 2024-2025 academic year or the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year are strongly advised to commence the application process promptly, as spots are in high demand and extremely limited in capacity. Consequently, availability may vary across programs.

You may choose to pay your child’s school year tuition in installments, with the first payment due on August 1, 2025, and additional payments due on the first of each subsequent month through July 2026, inclusive.

Should you opt to pay tuition in full, a 1% discount will be applied to the annual tuition.

Alternatively, you may pay the yearly tuition in trimesters or three installments. The first installment is payable by August 1, 2025, the second installment by December 1, 2025, and the balance as a third installment by April 1, 2026.

Prime also offers families an every four weeks tuition payment option.

    Special Considerations

    Prime Foundation Montessori offers a family discount.

    Families with two or more students enrolled in Prime Foundation Montessori will receive a tuition discount of $500.

Do you accept students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)?

Yes. We have some children who have formalized Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and also provide learning support to children without formal IEPs but who have various behavioral and/or learning challenges. In many cases, the inherent structure of our programs and warm, nurturing environment precludes the need for a formalized IEP, as our programs naturally accommodate several common learning supports that frequently appear in the formalized IEPs among our families. These include small class sizes, additional time to complete work, movement breaks, and ongoing observational and informal assessments.
