Financial Aid
Affording RMS: Our Commitment to Access
Richmond Montessori School is committed to making a Montessori education accessible to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds and our financial aid program reflects our commitment to maintaining an economically diverse student body and a quality private school education for students throughout the Richmond area. Our Financial aid program is designed to help bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and what a family can reasonably afford. Financial aid awards are based on demonstrated need as determined by an independent, confidential assessment through Clarity. Financial aid at RMS is partial in nature and is only available to school-aged children (Level kindergarten (P3) through 8th grade). We do not offer aid to our early childhood program or our Montessori Enrichment after care program.
We encourage families who believe cost may be a barrier to apply and explore what may be possible through our aid program.
Financial Aid Deadlines for the 2026-2027 School Year:
- Returning or Current Families: December 20th, 2025
- Newly Applying Families to our school: January 5, 2026
- Applications received after those deadlines will still be considered on a rolling basis as funds are available.
Process: Clarity is our system for assessing need on an equitable basis. To submit the application a $65 fee is required- separate from the application fee due to RMS. The financial aid fee is payable to Clarity. Documentation is required, including, but not limited to, the most recent Tax forms & W-2s. You will be asked to consent to automatic uploads from the IRS via the clarity app.
A financial aid committee determines if aid is awarded after confidential review & financial aid must be reapplied for each year you would like to be considered for aid.
Financial Aid Award letters are sent via email as contracts are extended. Contracts will also include the aid amount in them if the aid is requested within our deadlines. If aid is requested later, the contract may be extended without aid, and if financial aid is awarded they will be reset.
Financial Aid is reviewed separately from applications and requesting aid does not impact your admissions process. You should start an FA application at the same time as your admissions application to ensure we can review and determine your eligibility.
