Tuition Assistance
About Tuition Assistance at MMS
Metropolitan Montessori School strives to make our Montessori education available to the widest range of students, regardless of their financial circumstances. While we believe that a student’s family has the primary responsibility for financing education, families who demonstrate that their financial resources are insufficient to pay the full cost of tuition are eligible to apply for financial assistance. However, due to limited resources, not all financial assistance requests can always be funded.
