Financial aid
Our approach to financial aid ensures our programs remain accessible to families. Nearly two-thirds of families receive some form of financial aid.
The application process for Guidepost Montessori’s financial aid program is administered by an external, third party system called the Independent School Management Financial Aid for School Tuition Program (FAST). FAST follows nationally established standards and ensures that all information submitted is kept confidential. The application is quick and easy, and all information provided will be kept strictly confidential.
*The financial aid mentioned above is only applicable to our US schools - this does not apply to international schools.
