A Dahlia Education, Built Around Your Family’s Reality

We believe the chance to learn in two languages, in an authentic Montessori environment, should never be limited by what a family can pay. 

Scholarships awarded— because an equity-based education isn’t a slogan here, it’s how we operate.

Customized tuition means exactly what it sounds like: we sit down with your family, look at your full financial picture, and build a tuition plan that reflects it — not a one-size-fits-all sticker price. Whether that means a partial scholarship, a payment structure that matches your income, or a deeper conversation about what’s possible, our goal is the same: to find a way to say yes.

Apply as you normally would.

Customized tuition is part of our standard admissions conversation — there’s no separate, complicated process to navigate.

Four steps to a tuition plan that works for your family.

1

Share your family’s financial picture.

2

We’ll ask for some documentation so we can build a plan that’s fair to your family and sustainable for our school community.

Talk it through, together.
HOW IT WORKS

3

We’ll walk you through what’s possible — clearly, warmly, and without judgment. Many families are surprised by what can be arranged.

Apply early.

4

Most customized tuition budgets are allocated during the early part of our admissions window — so the sooner you start the conversation, the more options we typically have available.

You don’t have to figure out the finances before you fall in love with the school.

​

Tour first. Apply. Then let’s have an honest conversation about what’s possible for your family.
