AFFORDING ROOTS

We have a foundational commitment to making Montessori education accessible to those in need and to bridging the growing socioeconomic gaps in our society.  One way we do this is through a generous financial assistance program. 

We do not want finances to be the deciding factor as to whether or not your child attends Roots.  Our goal is to make our school accessible to as many children as possible and to create a school community that is diverse, inclusive and educationally enriching - as a full expression of the kingdom of God.  

Roots financial assistance is a needs-based award program, based on financial information submitted to Clarity.  Clarity is a 3rd party that exists to help ease access to financial assistance.  While the application process is the same, there are two types of financial assistance available -

Flexible Tuition and Tuition Grants

You can learn more about Roots Financial Assistance Program here.

A student must complete the Admissions Process to be considered for financial assistance. 

Flexible Tuition

Families may elect to apply for Flexible Tuition which will place tuition within a range based on their financial resources.  To help determine the tuition a family would be asked to pay, families will need to complete the Clarity Financial Aid application.  Families may choose to forgo this option and pay the full amount of tuition. 

Flexible Tuition requests are reviewed only after a student has completed the application process and been offered admission at Roots.   Please note that Flexible Tuition is a needs based award; therefore, not all applicants will necessarily be awarded with Flexible Tuition.  

Tuition Grants

In our ongoing commitment to enabling and supporting economic diversity in our student body, Roots offers a limited number of needs-based grants.  Tuition grants cover up to 90% of tuition and incidental expenses for qualifying families.  These grants are commitments that will continue through the years assuming the financial need continues and the student remains in good standing/eligible.

Every student who applies for financial assistance at Roots will automatically be considered for a tuition grant, as part of the normal Financial Assistance application process.

Parent Testimonial

"We are so thankful for the ways that Roots has nurtured the development of our child's academic learning and character.  The teachers and staff have each taken time to get to know her in order to provide an individualized educational plan to foster a love for learning.  She has greatly benefited from the smaller environment, and the Montessori approach has given her guidance to grow in new areas while encouraging her to enhance her strengths.  The classroom set up is very warm and welcoming, and she loves all of the science experiments and field trips!  Finally, the friendly and caring Christian community has lifted her up and enabled her to soar."
