Tuition is based on an annual fee which reserves your child’s place in a class during regular school hours on an ongoing, year round basis. Tuition may be paid annually in September or in monthly installments. Monthly installments are due on or before the first of the month for the coming month. Please note that some months such as December are shorter due to holidays or vacations, however, monthly tuition installments remain the same. We have already factored these holidays and vacations into the annual tuition. When leaving the program due to an extended vacation, full tuition must be paid for the coming month before leaving to reserve the child’s place in their classroom. Otherwise, they may be withdrawn from the program and their place given to a child from the waiting list.
We prorate the tuition of children entering the program after the beginning of the school term once only according to their start date thus placing them on the regular payments schedule. Mission Viejo Montessori School is open 7:00 am until 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. The Montessori Curriculum and other classroom activities are scheduled from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm with childcare available for extended hours. This gives you maximum scheduling flexibility.
