When a family has more than one child enrolled at Sagebrush Montessori the following sibling discount is offered:

First enrolled child (oldest) Full tuition
Second enrolled child (next oldest) 10% off full tuition

Tuition Deposit

Upon initial acceptance the program, you were asked to make a tuition deposit equal to one tenth of annual tuition. Each year in June, you are asked to again make a tuition deposit. This deposit is used to hold your child’s spot in the program and is applied to the final month of the following school year.

The tuition deposit (equal to one tenth of annual tuition) can only be refunded if one month (30 days) written withdrawal is given.
