Any family currently receiving financial assistance will have a 50% discount on the tuition deposit and can speak to Melissa if this still creates a hardship.

Given our limited availability, we aim to ensure that no student misses the chance to enroll in our school simply because families are still deliberating on the best educational choice for their child. Thank you for your honest commitment; we are thrilled to welcome you into our elementary school.
