Tuition Assistance

The Children’s House and Compass Montessori Junior High are a community of families who value an independent, high-quality Montessori education. Through our tuition assistance program, we strive to welcome every mission-aligned family, so that the cost of tuition is never the reason a child misses the opportunity to learn at our school.

2026 Tuition Assistance Application Available February 1 - March 1, 2026

Our school uses Clarity to process tuition assistance applications. Clarity provides our school with a need-based financial analysis, allowing us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly. Our Tuition Assistance Committee makes final decisions about financial awards based on the Clarity recommendations. All information regarding a family’s request for financial assistance is kept confidential.

Tuition assistance awards are available for the Primary, Elementary, and Junior High educational programs only. To be considered for assistance, a minimum schedule of 5 mornings is required for Primary students. Assistance is not available for the Nido-YCC program, summer session, early care, or after care.

The website will be open for application starting February 1, 2027. All applications for returning families must be completed by March 1, 2027.

  • Follow this link to the Clarity website to begin your application.

  • Use school code: 5363.

  • A $65.00 fee is charged by Clarity for their service. You will make this payment through their website.

  • Incomplete applications cannot be considered for an award. Current families applying for tuition assistance must be up-to-date on payments otherwise the application will not be considered for an award. 

  • Applications received/completed after the deadline will be considered with new family applications. This second round of assistance will be considered and awarded on a rolling basis.

Please reference the School Handbook for additional information about our tuition assistance and awards process.

Award letters for returning families will be emailed March 19, 2027. Award letters for new families will be emailed as decisions are made.
