The financial assistance program at CMS was established through the dedication and generosity of the CMS parent community. The goal of the annual financial assistance program is to encourage membership diversity and community responsibility by discounting tuition for families who could not otherwise afford a Montessori education for their child. The program is funded by donations and fundraisers and managed by the Financial Assistance Committee. Applications are processed in confidence.
There are three categories of financial assistance – Annual (Community Outreach), Annual (New and Existing families), and Emergency Assistance. The financial assistance allowances are income-based; the process begins with the executive director and is completely confidential. Priorities for the allowances are also based on the diversity and program needs of the school.
