Monarch Montessori’s mission is to serve the community’s need for quality, affordable educational options. We utilize an income-based tuition assistance scale to improve affordability for eligible families. The Board of Directors must approve any request for tuition assistance, and all requests are subject to budgetary restrictions and availability of funds.  

Monarch Montessori will not approve any request for tuition assistance that is not supported by documentation that is both true and complete. All families requesting tuition assistance must submit the first page of their 2024 Form 1040 for all adults in the household and must disclose any additional household income not included on the 1040 for any reason. If your Form 1040 does not reflect the full reality of your current household income, please write an explanation along with documentation sufficient to verify your income.  Examples of this type of alternative documentation might include but are not limited to your most recent 30 days of pay stubs, Social Security award letters, or a letter from an employer verifying changes in the terms of employment.

Families who qualify for Think Small Scholarships will be asked to apply within one month of enrolling at Monarch. We are happy to help families navigate the application process. Think Small Scholarships might cover the entire cost, which helps our organization (and you!) immensely. If eligible families do not complete a Think Small application within one month, Monarch reserves the right to rescind the full amount of tuition assistance.

If after you have been granted tuition assistance, your economic circumstances improve to the extent that you no longer need that assistance, you are agreeing to report that change.  Any grant of tuition assistance is applicable for this school year only, and Monarch Montessori reserves the right to rescind a grant of tuition assistance with a thirty day written notice.
