Most schools don't publish tuition; where a school in Calgary has, it's shown on its page and on the MontessoriCity tuition page. You can also ask schools directly when you book a free tour.
AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) was founded by Maria Montessori and emphasizes strict adherence to her original method. AMS (American Montessori Society) is a U.S.-based organization that accepts a broader interpretation. Both are reputable; AMI tends to be more traditional.
Montessori programs are grouped by age: toddler (about 18 months to 3), primary or Casa (about 3 to 6) and elementary (6 to 12). Which of these a school offers varies, so check each school's page or ask when you book a tour.
Most Montessori schools in Calgary are independent (private). A small number of public school boards offer Montessori-stream programs — check with your local district.
