    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a Montessori school in Detroit cost?

    Tuition for Montessori schools in Detroit typically ranges from $9,000 to $25,000 per year depending on the program (toddler, primary or elementary), full vs half day, and accreditation. Contact each school directly for current rates.

    What is the difference between AMI and AMS accreditation?

    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.
