Tuition

Northeast Iowa Montessori School is a non-profit school and we strive to keep our tuition rates as low as possible.

• Tuition is based on the child’s age on the day before the first day of school each fall.
• A $100 per family non-refundable registration fee is required at the time of enrollment. The registration fee is paid at the time of enrollment and then yearly each spring for enrollment in the next academic year.
• Tuition Discounts:
  • A 5% discount is provided for families who have more than one child enrolled in the program. The discount applies to each additional sibling with the lowest tuition.
  • A 5% discount is also offered to families who wish to pay the yearly tuition amount in full before September 1st. You can choose this option for one or all/both of your children.
  • A 2.5% discount is offered to families who wish to pay their tuition at the beginning of each semester (due in Sept and Jan).
  • Discounts do not apply to After School Program rates.
