Support
At Amherst Montessori, we wholeheartedly embrace the idea that all of us are a village, caring for one another and partnering to raise and educate the next generation of compassionate and educated citizens. There are many different ways to contribute to our school and your involvement or gift, no matter the size, helps our school live its mission.
Financial Donations
Like all independent schools, tuition income does not cover our entire operating budget and we rely on philanthropic support to help cover the costs of our programs.
If you are interested in offering a donation, there are two ways to do so:
Annual Fund Donations
Donations to Amherst Montessori's Annual Fund support the day-to-day operations of our school, help cover the cost of classroom materials and other important school needs, and are also used to bolster our financial aid program. You can visit our Annual Fund page to learn more about the program, and if you would like to make a donation to this fund, you can do so easily on our Donate page.
Donations to the Peg Smith Scholarship Fund
This fund was established in memory of one of the school's co-founders and provides financial assistance to families who woudn't otherwise be able to afford attending our school. You can learn more about the fund here and can make an online donation to support the fund on our Donate page.
Volunteer
We are very grateful for the many ways that our parents and other community members give of their time and energy to support our school.
From participation in our Parent Association, to volunteering in a child's classroom, to helping maintain our grounds, there are many ways to be involved. Please visit our Volunteer page to learn more.
