• Tuition is not subject to adjustment because of illness or absence, nor for days school is closed for quarantine, holidays, staff development days, bad weather, etc.
• A minimum of 6 families is needed for programs to be offered. 

• Because of the immersion and community component of this program, families are asked to commit for at least a whole school year, if not two.
• To ensure consistency for the group, it is required that a family give two months written notification (three in the summer). Tuition is paid during this time to allow us to find another family.
• Community events (community gatherings, community campouts and community work mornings) are part of our school life and your participation is expected as much as possible. As part of the school community, families also contribute to the school life and environment based on their skills and interests throughout the school year.

Annual registration/administrative fee: There is a yearly $150 non-refundable registration and administrative fee upon enrollment or re-enrollment.

Security deposit: At the time of acceptance, a security deposit of $650 must be paid. The deposit will be applied to the last month that the child is enrolled at Los Amiguitos. It will not be reimbursed if your child does not end up attending Los Amiguitos nor will it be applied to the last month your child attends if you do not give a two months notice of withdrawal.

Supply fee: There is a yearly non-refundable supply fee of $350 per student. This enables us to have good quality Montessori materials, a great school application, as well as money for engaging projects and activities.

Calendar: Los Amiguitos strives to offer children a calendar that fits their growing and learning needs by allowing for regular short breaks throughout the school year.  This calendar has proven to increase positive engagement and learning while decreasing stress, sickness during the school year and needing to relearn and re-transition after a long summer vacation. For more precise vacation dates and days off, please check our School Calendar 2022-2023
