Financial Aid Applications — Temporarily Paused
Cherry Blossom Montessori School has always funded the schools’ annual operating expenses with tuition dollars. We will not compromise on the quality of education that we offer. This means tuition dollars go to ensuring educational excellence first before other programs are funded. While recognizing that some sacrifice on the part of the parents is appropriate for something as crucial as their child’s education, the school knows that financial assistance is sometimes necessary to build and maintain the sort of student body our schools aspire to have and the children deserve. Consequently, since the beginning of the school in 1967, significant funds have always been devoted to tuition assistance.
At this time, we are temporarily not accepting new financial aid applications. The application window will reopen in January 2027, at which point families will once again be able to apply for need-based assistance through the Clarity Financial Aid platform
This pause is a routine part of our aid cycle and does not affect the amount of assistance available to families. It simply means that new applications submitted before the window reopens cannot yet be processed.
What you can do in the meantime:
If you would like to be notified the moment the application window reopens, or if you’d like to discuss your family’s individual circumstances, please reach out to our admissions office. We’re glad to answer questions, walk you through what the process will involve, and make sure you’re ready to apply as soon as the window opens.
Please note: Admissions applications for the 2026–2027 school year remain open. This pause applies only to the financial aid application process — not to enrollment. We warmly encourage interested families to continue with the admissions process and to plan for financial aid when applications reopen in January 2027.
