Cost of Enrollment & Other Fees
Investing in your child's education is one of the most important decisions your family will make. At Wading River Montessori School, our Cost of Enrollment reflects far more than classroom instruction—it represents a thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment, exceptional educators, individualized learning, meaningful outdoor experiences, and a vibrant school community dedicated to helping each child thrive.
Why We Use the Term 'Cost of Enrollment'
We intentionally use the term 'Cost of Enrollment' rather than tuition because enrollment at Wading River Montessori School represents a partnership between home and school. Your child's Cost of Enrollment supports the complete educational experience—including our prepared environments, highly trained faculty, Montessori materials, campus resources, school programming, and the many opportunities that make our community unique.
Application Fee
A non-refundable application fee accompanies each application for admission.
Reservation Fee
Once a family accepts an offer of enrollment, a Reservation Fee secures your child's place for the coming school year. The Reservation Fee is applied toward your child's Cost of Enrollment and confirms our mutual commitment to the educational partnership ahead.
Additional details regarding reservation fees and enrollment policies are outlined in the Reservation Agreement and Enrollment Contract provided during the admissions process.
