Costs and Fees
Tesoro Montessori School is a day school. In kindergarten, half-day or full-day options are available. In the primary school, we offer full-day instruction. On Wednesday and Friday afternoons, children in both kindergarten and primary school have the afternoon off, but optional childcare can be booked. The school fees are transparent and straightforward, consisting of a fixed amount per child. In the kindergarten (ages 3-6), fees can be booked as half-day with or without lunch or full-day with or without lunch. In the primary school (ages 6-12), full-day options with or without lunch can be booked. School fees can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, one month in advance.
