​
One of our top priorities as educators and members of the Asheville community is to provide a tuition model that is sustainable, accessible and equitable. As an independent school, tuition from our families is integral for us to operate and offer our work to children and families. We value the education that we provide and believe that finances should not be a determining factor in our enrollment and community.
​
We provide several options to emphasize our values with tailored tuition, childcare subsidies, and the opportunity scholarship. Montessori education should be accessible for any family who is interested and we invite you to join.
Tuition Rates
Our full day tuition rate is $11,500.
​
Tailored Tuition is our optional discounted tuition program for any family who may find the base tuition rate inaccessible. Tailored Tuition is assessed through a third-party program, TADS, to determine tuition assistance.
​
Childcare Subsidies
We accept N.C. Child Care subsidies. Please visit the Buncombe County website for more information on the Childcare Subsidies program.
​
The Opportunity Scholarship
The Opportunity Scholarship provides tuition assistance for eligible students in Kindergarten-12th grade. Those who qualify can receive up to $7,468 per year. Families that receive the Opportunity Scholarship are responsible for the difference between their award amount and the base tuition. Visit the NCSEAA website to learn more about eligibility and apply for the Opportunity Scholarship. Please contact us if you have questions or need assistance in applying.

The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
