Tuition Assistance

We believe that diversity enriches our school community and that every child has the right to access a quality education in a Montessori environment regardless of his/her family’s socio-economic standing. While it is not possible to ensure this right for all children, it is our objective to institute a program of assistance to avail that right to some children who would otherwise be denied.
FWS does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion or ethnic origin with respect to the admission of students and the employment of staff.
