Program Deposit
Montessori schools utilize multi-age groupings and tailored curricula to meet children's cognitive, social, and emotional needs. At Childpeace, we use three-year cycles in mixed-age classrooms with the aim of maximizing each child’s potential through collaboration with teachers and peers. This approach fosters a family-like learning community and supports children's continuous growth.
The integrity and continuity of these three-year cycles are a critical part of the Montessori approach. With that in mind, we ask each family to provide a program deposit as a commitment to each three-year cycle that their child is a part of. The deposit is refundable after the three years are complete or can be rolled over into the next three-year cycle.
Children’s House $1,000
Lower Elementary $1,300
Upper Elementary $1,300
Middle School $1,600
Financial Aid Information

The school is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and our goal is to award financial aid to as many students as possible, using a need-based assessment. If you believe your financial resources are not sufficient to meet the cost of a Childpeace education, you are strongly encouraged to apply online for financial aid. Financial Aid awards are determined on a yearly basis. Financial Aid decisions are made by Childpeace’s Financial Aid Committee.
