MMS is committed to improving the accessibility of & equity within our programs.

At MMS, eligible families may qualify for one or both forms of financial assistance offered through the school.

• The Magnolia Montessori School Financial Assistance Program is a school-sponsored pathway to tuition assistance. The MMS Financial Aid Committee convenes each year to allot limited financial aid to eligible families in accordance with school policy. A primary goal of the Magnolia Montessori School Tuition Assistance Policy is the fair and equitable distribution of the limited financial aid funds available. The policy is also intended to balance the School’s financial wellbeing with its goal to increase the socio-economic diversity of its student and family population, and to encourage families to remain members of the school community through a student’s elementary years.
