Annually, North Shore Montessori School grants tuition assistance of up to 50% to families who desire a Montessori education for their children.

The funds for the financial aid program come from individual gifts to the school and other fundraising events and are therefore limited. Wrap-around care programs are not eligible for financial assistance.
