Indexed Tuition
Think you can’t afford a private school education for your child?
Think again!
At MMS, we believe every child deserves a school where they are loved, cared for, and truly happy—every single day. Learning should be a joyful journey, where curiosity is nurtured, challenges are embraced, and confidence grows.
Our dedicated faculty creates an environment where students feel valued and inspired to push themselves, develop resilience, and strive for excellence. We don’t just teach subjects; we cultivate a lifelong passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
The results speak for themselves—90% of our 8th graders score in the 98th percentile in math, and 100% achieve advanced levels in reading. Our students excel in academics, the arts, and athletics, earning top national awards and over half a million dollars in merit-based scholarships each year.
Every dollar invested in an MMS education is an investment in a school where your child is challenged, supported, and truly known. We are honored to be your partners in this journey and look forward to another year of inspiring students to become informed, confident, and impactful leaders.
Indexed Tuition,
What Is It?
Milwaukee Montessori School is committed to making an MMS education accessible to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds. We offer indexed tuition, which allows us to match tuition to your family's income.
Indexed Tuition Ranges
2025 - 2026 Academic Year
Full-Day Students: $6,628 - $13,255
Half-Day Students: $5,366 - $10,732
Once your Indexed Tuition number is calculated for your family, you can choose to pay tuition in several ways, depending on what works best for you.
Families can pay:
- over ten months from July 5 - April 5;
- twice a year on July 5 and January 5;
- or all upfront on July 5.
After-school care is indexed at the same rate as tuition.
Indexed tuition does not apply to our toddler program, early morning childcare, after-school clubs, lunch, field trips, private music lessons, academic tutoring, or athletic fees.
How It Works
To help us objectively assess what a family is able to contribute to education expenses, MMS uses a trusted third party, as the baseline for our Indexed Tuition determinations.
Once your MMS application has been reviewed and accepted by our Admissions Committee;
- You will receive an online agreement for enrollment.
- While completing the agreement, check that you are interested in applying for Financial Aid.
- Your agreement will be held while you complete the Indexed Tuition application.
- You will be notified of the Indexed Tuition determination and can finish the online agreement at that time.
- Families must apply for Indexed Tuition each year, and tuition can move up or down in line with a family’s economic profile.

It Starts With Your Investment
Milwaukee Montessori School is not like any other Montessori school. Our students are the perennial winners of statewide and national art awards, writing awards, and the only school in the US to be the three-time winners of the National Stem Challenge in Game Design. Our students earn their fair share of athletic trophies, too!
Because we are determined to make a Milwaukee Montessori School education accessible to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds, the school charges an indexed range of tuition based on family financials.
Position Your Child for Success in High School!
MMS was named one of just five "Schools of the Future" by the National Association of Independent Schools for our innovative academic programs and customized teaching approach.
The result is that our graduates enter the most prestigious boarding and day schools in America, and do so starting in honors level and AP courses right out of the gate.
MMS graduates are informed, engaged, and ethically minded citizens, who receive high school scholarships totaling over half a million dollars each year.
