A commitment deposit in the amount of $1,000 shall be required for any child entering the All Day Montessori program prior to his/her kindergarten year. The deposit will be refunded upon completion of the Kindergarten year.

Additional Fees

In addition to tuition, please plan for the following fees which will be invoiced as part of the August 1st billing:

This fee consists of the following: overnight camping trip to Eagle Bluff ($180), week long trip to Camp Widjiwagan ($210), bus transportation forWidji trip ($60), general school supplies including Great Books or novels ($50).

Junior High Student Fees: $600 per student

The remainder of the cost for the D.C. trip are generated by fundraisers that are planned and executed by the students, with parental assistance.

Before and After School Care: $5.50/hour [advanced registration], $6.00/hour [drop-in basis]

Before and After School Care requires advanced registration and other necessary forms. Please contact the office for more information. The drop-in spaces are limited.

All fees for before and after school care are invoiced in three installments, coinciding with tuition invoicing which is due in August, November and February.

Tuition Assistance

The mission of the Tuition Assistance program at Oak Hill is to:

  • Provide Tuition Assistance to families who are committed to Montessori education, but are not able to afford full tuition due to a financial hardship or ongoing financial limitations.

  • Provide continuity within the Montessori classrooms.

  • Provide full enrollment in under-enrolled classrooms.

Note: This TA policy is separate from a scholarship program to bring in outside applicants with regard to diversity, community outreach, etc.

If you are interested in more tuition assistant information please contact the office at 651-484-8242.

Tuition Contracts

Oak Hill's tuition contract bind the signatory to the terms of the contract and the tuition and fees for the full academic year. If a student is withdrawn after the tuition contract is signed a replacement student at the same level must be found to replace the withdrawn student in order for the signatory to be released from the contract.

Tuition Deposits

A tuition deposit is required for each of our programs. This deposit assures the child's placement. When tuition contracts are extended, families have approximately 10 business days to return the signed contract along with the required non-refundable tuition deposit.

Tuition Payment Plans

Parents can elect to pay tuition in full by August 1st, in three installments by August 1st, November 1st and February 1st or 10 monthly payments due on the 1st of each month from August through May of the academic year.

Delinquent Payments and Returned checks

An enrolled family agrees to be responsible for fees incurred to Oak Hill Montessori School accounts as a result of insufficient funds or other account variances that result in a service charge to the School. Our Accountant will notify the parents in writing and will request payment of fees by money order.

Oak Hill Montessori is a non-profit organization and depends upon prompt payment of tuition. Payments received after the due date are charged a $25 late penalty and interest at 1.5%/month.

Please note that outstanding balances from the previous school year (i.e., tuition or before and after school care charges) must be paid in full or your child will not be permitted to attend school.

Whom do I Call with Questions on Tuition, Fees and Payments...?

If you have any questions regarding tuition or before and after school care charges, please call our Accountant, at 651-484-8242 or email him at PaulP@oakhillmontessori.org
