Rochester Montessori School, located on a fifteen-acre campus, provides a Montessori education for children from toddlers through ninth grade. We offer the Internationale Baccalaureate Middle Years Program in grades six through eight. Our programs are further enhanced by classes in Spanish as well as instruction in music, art, and physical education. Children also participate in field experiences and service programs.
Tuition is paid in ten installments beginning in June and then for nine months, September through May respectively. Payments are collected through automatic withdrawal.
Multiple-Child Discounts. The School offers a $500/year discount for the third child and $1,000/year for families with 4 or more children. To receive this discount, families must have at least one child enrolled in the Elementary Program. An exception to this is granted to families in the instance of multiple births other than twins (i.e., triplets, etc.)
A one-time, non-transferable deposit is due when a child is enrolled into the School. The security deposit is returned when your child completes the school year. You may roll your security deposit over to the following school year if your child is continuing. Withdrawal of a child prior to the beginning of the school year or withdrawal of a child during the school year will result in forfeiture of the security deposit. Your security deposit will be returned, however, if the School recommends withdrawal of your child. Failure to pay the security deposit may result in loss of enrollment.
This yearly fee is assessed per family and is due with annual fees. These funds support annual family activities such as a school celebration, a multicultural event, and the year-end picnic.
