Tuition Assistance
Our annual school auction raises money for our tuition assistance fund. This allows us to offer tuition assistance to full day students in both our Primary and Elementary programs. The tuition assistance committee will review each application on a case-by-case basis. Currently 15-20% of our students receive tuition assistance.
We work with FACTS Tuition Assessment services to assess need in our school families. This system integrates with school systems across the community. You can apply to multiple programs for tuition assistance in one place. This service also directly integrates with our tuition billing system, streamlining the process for everyone.
Tuition assistance applications for the 2024-2025 school year go live March 1, 2024.
If you have any questions please email our Director of Admissions.

"As the mom of identical (yet nothing alike) twins, we wanted a school community that would nurture their individual curiosities and interests and provide them the same lifelong love of learning that I have experienced as a Montessori student many years ago. We found that in The Portland Montessori School."
"Having entered our third full year at what is now The Portland Montessori School, we have been moved by not only Mr. Curt, whom Beck looks up to a great deal and thinks is the smartest person in the world, but also by the entire staff’s commitment to each child’s development."
"At The Portland Montessori School, our kids learn to use buttons, tie their shoes, juice an orange, crack nuts and cut bananas, clean up after themselves, identify odd and even numbers, sew, set their place at the table, pour their own milk, understand the value of numbers into the thousands, and identify continents and countries on a map—and have fun doing it all!"
"Our son's vocabulary, spelling, reading and social skills have grown by leaps and bounds under the Montessori method."
"My wife and I can’t thank the school enough for helping not only our son, but also us as we try to provide a consistent learning environment in our home."
