Forest Bluff Montessori School Tuition Policy
For more information about Forest Bluff Montessori School tuition, see the table below. Payment of the tuition deposit confirms your intention to enroll your child at Forest Bluff School for the 2023-2024 school year. If your child enters Forest Bluff School mid-year, the tuition is pro-rated accordingly, and payment of full tuition is due before your child’s first day of school.

1 Tuition is pro-rated to the Extended Day Level amount from the child’s 5th birthday to the end of that school year.
2 Tuition is pro-rated to the Upper Elementary Level amount from the child’s 9th birthday to the end of that school year.
3 Please note that first year Secondary Level students will be billed later in the Spring.
4 As part of our effort to keep our tuition costs lower than comparable schools, we request that annual tuition for the upcoming
academic year be paid in full by June 23. The cost of tuition is the only expense that Forest Bluff Families should anticipate
paying, as we do not conduct the annual fundraising campaigns typical of many independent schools.
5 Each new family purchases one $2000 Educational Certificate, redeemable at the time of their youngest child’s graduation
from the Secondary Level (age 14) or an elementary school elsewhere (age 12). The Educational Certificate allows us to keep our
tuition costs lower than comparable schools.
