FINANCIAL AID
At Goldberg Montessori School, we take pride in our commitment to providing educational opportunities to all students, regardless of their financial circumstances. To make this possible, we offer scholarships to families who demonstrate financial need, ensuring that students can attend GMS even when they may face financial barriers.
While we strive to assist as many families as possible, it's important to note that GMS does not have a dedicated scholarship fund. Consequently, our financial aid program is limited and will be awarded on a rolling basis, prioritizing families based on their unique needs and circumstances.
We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse learning environment, and our scholarship program is one of the ways we support this mission. If you believe your family would benefit from financial assistance, we encourage you to apply and share your circumstances with us. Together, we can work towards providing quality education to all who seek it at Goldberg Montessori School.
