Magnolia Montessori is an active and intentional community of families. Part of the Wildflower Network, we are constantly evolving as we practice expressing our purpose, individually and collectively. One aspect of this practice is something we define as “discernment;” that is, we distinguish carefully through a thoughtful process of opening oneself to increased intimacy and vulnerability through sensory, cognitive and emotional experience. This is what we are asking you to do as you consider pursuing participation in our community as an enrolled family.
To help with this process of discernment, we ask you to consider the information contained on our Community page.

TUITION
Tuition and fees are contracted for each student on an annual basis. Tuition contributes to the overall cost of educating each child, including teacher salaries, materials, operations, and overhead. Fees are assessed annually to provide the cost of snack, supplies, and activities for each student. Tuition is prorated for children enrolling after the start of the school year.
To live more fully into our Equity principle, we have moved to an Equitable Tuition Model based on Income. Learn more here. We center equity and offer free tuition to students who are low income, especially Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color.
We anticipate a cost of living increase yearly.
Magnolia Montessori School strives for absolute financial transparency, as well as striving to make our school inclusive to families living at all income levels--in the spirit of reflecting the Louisville community and valuing all families, regardless of their means.
