Tuition Assistance at Keystone Montessori
Every Child Deserves a Montessori Education
At Keystone Montessori, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience a Montessori education. Through our San Lorenzo fund, our goal is to make our program accessible to families who are committed to the Montessori approach and who reflect the rich diversity of the Charlotte community. We strive to ensure that a family’s financial situation does not stand in the way of a child’s Montessori education.
Tuition assistance is available to families who demonstrate financial need. Applications for tuition assistance open in winter for the following school year. All information submitted as part of the tuition assistance process is confidential and reviewed only by those directly involved in financial aid decisions. Families must reapply each year, as awards are made annually based on current financial information and available funds.

How to Apply
