Tuition rates are carefully considered on an annual basis as determined by the fiscal demands of the school. The annual tuition payment is billed in ten equal monthly payments that are due the fifth of each month (August- May.) A one month non-refundable tuition deposit is due June 1 to complete the enrollment process. This tuition deposit is considered the first of the ten monthly payments and will be applied to the August payment.

GMA offers three payment options – in full by Aug 2 (receives a 3% discount); two equal payments (August 2 and January 1); or in 9 remaining equal payments (September-May). Tuition is due the first of each month and considered late after the 5th, unless prior arrangements have been made.

Partial scholarships may be available. Please contact the office, (406)-652-1739.

Enrollment Fee

A non-refundable $175 registration fee per child will be due upon new enrollment or re-enrollment. Please see Enrollment Timeline attached to this form.

Discounts

A 5% discount from tuition fees is available for the second and third child. A 3% discount is applied to tuition fees if payment of the full year’s tuition is received by August 1st. Due to ongoing expenses, credits cannot be given for absences or vacations.

Enrollment

The Montessori philosophy is based on a three-year curriculum. We strongly recommend children be enrolled for at least two years to ensure they receive the maximum benefit of the program. GMA is a non-profit organization and must meet expenses of a continuing nature, based on estimated tuition for the entire year. If it is necessary to withdraw the child, a written notice of intent to withdraw must be given to the school one month in advance of the withdrawal date or that month’s tuition is still due.
