About our Tuition
The Renaissance Montessori school year is ten months long, from August through May. We offer a camp program from June to August that has different rates. Our tuition is structured to offer significant discounts to families who enroll for a full 12-month program. We also offer discounts for families who pay in fewer installments. Please note that families who choose to pay monthly will pay their tuition through automatic bank withdrawals. Are you a returning family? Do you have special financial considerations, such as financial need or siblings? Please speak to the office about additional discounts that may be available to you.

Additional Notes
1. Please understand that tuition at Renaissance Montessori is an annual commitment. Although for convenience it may be paid monthly, this amount does not vary for months with fewer school days. The total amount due by the end of the school year is as agreed to in your contract, which may be prorated depending on when during the year your family joins the school.
2. A 30-day Initial Period: Four to six weeks is generally ample time from the child’s first day of phase-in to see if the school community is indeed the right fit. During the 30- Initial Period, either party (family or school) can withdraw from contract without penalty. Monthly tuition should be paid during this time, but will be pro-rated should family or school withdraw from contract prior to a full 30-day period.
3. Please note that tuition will begin the first day of phase in.
4. Make-up days are not available for school closings, days of inclement weather, absences, and schedules less than five days. For example, a child scheduled for Monday- Wednesday will not be allowed to attend on a Thursday or Friday should school be closed on a Monday or should the child have an absence due to illness on a Monday.
5. Tuition is due for the entire month during the school year on the first day of the month, regardless if the student is absent due to travel. During summer months, tuition is also due on the first day of the month.
6. Tuition will not be waived for travel or vacation days.
