Tuition & Financial Aid

BHMS offers several tuition payment options to our families:

  1. One annual payment on June 1.
  2. Semi-annual payments in two installments on June 1 and November 1.
  3. Monthly payments, in eight equal installments, beginning on June 1 and ending on January 1.

BHMS is proud to offer tuition insurance to enrolled families who wish to best protect the investment of their tuition dollars. Click here for more information on the Dewar Tuition Refund Plan.

Financial Aid is available for Brooklyn Heights Montessori School students above the age of two. Aid awards are based on need and funds available from the school. Students in a half-day Preschool program can receive up to 25 percent of their school costs. Full-day Preschool, Elementary, and Middle school students can receive up to 50 percent. Applying is easy, and, of course, all applications are confidential.

To begin the application process for Financial Aid online, please visit School and Student Service for Financial Aid. The SSS code for Brooklyn Heights Montessori School is: 1335.

If you would like us to mail you Financial Aid materials, complete your school application form. In the section that asks, "Do you wish to receive an application for financial assistance?," check the box marked "Yes." A financial aid application will be mailed to you. Complete the application. Mail the original to:

You must also mail a copy, along with a copy of your last year’s complete tax return, to:

Applications will be analyzed and awards determined by the School’s Financial Aid Committee. Awards will be announced with acceptance letters. Late applicants will only receive estimates of financial aid awards at the time of acceptance.

Completely independent of the financial aid process at BHMS, loans for tuition expenses may also be available for qualifying families. Key Bank offers one program that provides money for independent school education. Click here for information about Key Education Resources Achiever Loan Program.
