A Powerful Investment in Your Child's Future

Prime Foundation Montessori’s tuition is designed to fund high-level educational and program opportunities, hire and retain talented faculty and staff, and maintain a school that will enhance the learning experience for all Prime students, allowing them to become free, confident learners for life.

In an effort to provide greater accessibility, Prime Foundation Montessori's tuition costs remain lower than other independent schools in the area. In order to accommodate the myriad needs of families, Prime has established alternative payment plans that spread the payments out over the school year. Tuition covers your child's complete educational experience, including Montessori classroom materials.

2024 - 2025 TUITION

Prime Foundation Montessori accepts applications year-round on a rolling admissions basis. If you are interested in enrolling for this ongoing 2024-2025 School Year or the next 2025-2026 School Year, spots are in high demand, are extremely limited, and may only be available in some programs. so we encourage parents to begin the application process early.

You may choose to take an installment plan for your child’s school year tuition to be divided into equal payments: the first payment due on August 1, 2024, and additional payments due on the first of each subsequent month through July 2025, inclusive.

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

You may also opt to pay the yearly tuition in trimesters or three installments (the first installment payable by August 1, 2024, the second installment payable by December 1, 2024, and the balance as a third installment payable by April 1, 2025).

Additionally, Prime offers families an every four weeks tuition payment option.

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

Yes. We have a number of students 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 school naturally accommodates 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.
