Central Montessori Academy – Toddler, Preschool and Elementary in Northwest Cincinnati
We are an independent Montessori school nurturing and developing young scholars from toddler through sixth grade.
Tuition Assistance
Central Montessori Academy appreciates the commitment and sacrifice that tuition costs require from our families who entrust us to instill Montessori values such as self-motivation, self-discipline and self- confidence in their children. We are constantly balancing the need to increase tuition costs with the need to pay our teachers and staff competitively to continue to provide the high level of education that our families and students deserve.
The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) creates a structure that is fair and mission appropriate, giving awards to families with true need. Other benefits include protecting tuition costs from rising too quickly and addressing aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion. The funds available for Tuition Assistance Program are limited. The program is designed to provide financial assistance to families who embrace the Montessori philosophy and just need some assistance to help continue this education for their children. Tuition Assistance will not exceed 50% of the standard rate of tuition. Typical TAP allocations will range between 20- 50%.
