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.

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 If a student is withdrawn after the tuition contract is signed a replacement student at the same level must be found to replace the withdrawn student in order for the signatory to be released from the contract.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.
