Early Childhood Program / North Shore, Massachusetts
2023-2024 Tuition Payment Policies
Following is a description of available options for tuition and fee payment schedules. This is a legal contract and acknowledges your full responsibility for satisfying all financial obligations in a timely manner.
It is the belief of Northeast Montessori Institute that individuals wishing to undertake Montessori teacher training not be prevented from doing so due to financial restrictions. Northeast Montessori Institute is not, however, a lending institution and encourages applicants to seek alternative financing when available, as the meeting of its operating expenses are based upon the responsible, timely tuition payments of its Adult Learners.
The payment plans include tuition of $5,250.00; and Adult Learner Association (includes membership fees for AMS and MACTE dues) and Intellectual Property fees of $900.00; for a total of $5,900.00 (a $50 application fee is due separately at time of application). Should you withdraw before the start of classes, the Association dues of $400 will be refundable; otherwise, all other terms in the following plans apply.
Arrangement for payment through third parties does not transfer responsibility for upholding the terms of this contract on the part of the enrolled individual.
