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.

"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."
"The school community at The Portland Montessori School creates a truly inspiring environment that is nurturing and encourages independence and a desire to learn. We see the results of this in our daughter every day."
"As parents, our ultimate goal is for our child to make independent, healthy and confident choices so he can be a happy and productive person wherever he is in life. We are thankful he is with Miss Jennifer's elementary class and The Portland Montessori School community, where he is developing those traits."
"The Portland Montessori School is a school with a heart. Each year, parents raise money to sustain scholarships that make the dream of a Montessori education a reality for families who could not otherwise afford it. That shows the true spirit of community at our school."
"Yesterday my second grader added 61 plus 61 in her head and she's zipping through the Harry Potter series. So while the school doesn’t measure her progress with test scores, I can see how much she has learned, but more importantly, I can see and feel her excitement about learning."
