Contracted Fees
Meadows Montessori School uses a progressive scale tuition schedule utilizing a Family Financial Commitment Plan for our Primary, Children’s House, and Elementary Programs. The Young Children’s Community, Toddler Program, has a set monthly fee schedule.
The Family Financial Commitment Plan enables Meadows Montessori School families to educate their children as equal members of an economically, racially, and culturally diverse community. This Commitment Plan is designed to meet a portion of the school’s annual budget through “Contracted Fees”.
Instead of a set tuition, a Contracted Fee is calculated for each family within a progressive scale model in equitable proportion to the family’s financial resources. Maximum fees are set in tiers and determined by the MMS Board of Directors on an annual basis.
All families will be asked to submit a Family Financial Worksheet (FFW) when applying for admission and annually thereafter when re-enrolling. This Worksheet is used to determine each family’s Contracted Fee for the coming year. Although we encourage all families to complete the FFW, families can elect not to submit financial information by signing the Waiver at the end of the Worksheet. By signing the Waiver, families are agreeing to pay the annual Maximum Fee for the entire school year.
All families in the Children’s House and Elementary programs will receive a FFW with their enrollment paperwork. Families are required to complete the FFW to determine their total adjusted household income, which in turn will decide which Financial Tier will be applied for Contracted Fees. Financial Tiers reflect total yearly Contracted Fees by Program.
Children enrolled in their sixth and final year in the Upper Elementary program will receive up to a 25% graduate discount of their Contracted Fees. The total rate of discount is determined by the number of years a student has been enrolled in the Elementary Program at a rate of 5% per year.
Families with more then one child enrolled in programs at our school are eligible to receive a 10% sibling discount. The primary child will attend at full fees, discounts will be applied for all additional children.
