Commitments
The Learning Circle Montessori Elementary School is a school with annual commitments for salaries and maintenance. Parents/or guardians are responsible for tuition and other fees regardless of illness or absences. Enrollment is for the full school year. The school is an independent, non-profit organization and must meet expenses of a continuing nature, based on estimated tuition for the entire year. A thirty-day written notice is required before withdrawing a child from the school or the tuition is still due.
The Montessori philosophy is based on a three year curriculum (6-9 years and 9-12 years). We strongly recommend children be enrolled for at least two years to ensure they receive the maximum benefit of the program.
For a Registration Application, please contact the office, 585-3778.
