    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a Montessori school in Seattle cost?

    Tuition for Montessori schools in Seattle 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?
