Tuition

Now enrolling Pre-k - 2nd grade for the 2026-27 school year.

​​

Indexed tuition is the tuition affordability model at Linden Tree Montessori School (LTMS).

 

Through our charter, K-2nd and our future additional grades 3rd-8th provides free tuition for all. Our PreK students receive free, if not heavily reduced tuition if they qualify for PFCC. For families who do not qualify for PFCC, tuition will be at a tiered cost based on income and family size. Linden Tree Montessori will use the indexed tuition in this case. 

 

The purpose of indexed tuition (IT) is to help fulfill the LTMS mission by increasing economic diversity in the school community. Representation of families all across the full range of the economic spectrum broadens perspectives; reinforces core values of curiosity, empathy and action; and expands students’ vision of and for the world. Economic diversity not only creates an accessible Montessori education but it enriches our community, fosters inclusion, and enhances the educational and social-emotional experience for both children and adults.

 

Each tuition rate tier is limited and will only be available for a select amount of families and is based on income. 

 

Tuition rates: 

 

Initial tuition: $13,000

 

Tier 1: $0 - $2,000 annually

Tier 2: $2,000 - $5,000 annually 

Tier 3: $5000 - $8,000 annually 

Tier 4: $8,000 - $10,000 annually 

Tier 5: $10,000 - $13,000 annually
