Our Reverse Tuition Model: Making Montessori Education Accessible for All
At Kindred Montessori Academy, we believe that high-quality education should be accessible to every child, regardless of age or financial situation. Our unique Reverse Tuition Model sets us apart from traditional schools by offering lower tuition for elementary students than for toddlers.
This innovative approach reflects our commitment to breaking down financial barriers and ensuring that families can continue their child’s Montessori journey throughout elementary school. With tuition decreasing as students grow older, we make it possible for families to plan ahead and avoid the financial strain often associated with private education.
By supporting this model, we are able to ensure that every child—whether in the toddler, preschool, or elementary program—receives the same exceptional, holistic Montessori education that builds a strong foundation for lifelong success.
