Tuition at Creative Montessori School is set annually by the Board of Directors as part of the school’s approved budget. The academic year spans 9.5 months, from mid-August through May, for all program levels.

CMS also offers summer programming to support families year-round. Toddler and Primary programs run for approximately 2.5 months, from June through mid-August. Elementary students (rising first through eighth grade) may participate in our seasonal Summer Camps.

All tuition and fee payments are securely processed through FACTS, our tuition management system. You can download the 2026-2027 tuition and fees here.

CHOOSE ACT

Creative Montessori School participates in Alabama’s CHOOSE Act, a state program that provides eligible families with education savings accounts to help offset the cost of tuition and qualifying educational expenses. Availability and eligibility are determined by the state, and participation in the program does not guarantee funding. Families are encouraged to review current CHOOSE Act guidelines and deadlines to determine whether this option may support their educational planning.

FINANCIAL AID

Each year, Creative Montessori School offers a limited number of scholarships and financial aid to eligible families at the Elementary level. Families must complete the enrollment process for their child prior to applying for financial assistance.
