We are so excited to meet you! While our school is under renovation, please book a tour via our interest list.  At this time, our school tour includes a one-on-one, coffee meet-up with our founder, Sophia, to learn more about our school. This meet-up is followed by a  tour of our schoolhouse. Due to the renovation process, tours may be limited to a partial or exterior viewing depending on the day. We’re happy to answer any questions or schedule a return visit to see our schoolhouse renovations-in-progress.

Tuition

Three Chairs runs on a 10 month academic school year, September - June.

We use a sliding scale tuition model to keep our school accessible to families across a range of financial backgrounds. Exact tuition is determined during the enrollment process based on overall household income. We encourage prospective families to reach out with any questions about our tuition model or enrollment process!

Tuition range: $18,000-$22,000

Terrabimbi Aftercare runs from 3-5pm daily. 

 Aftercare: $5,000 per school year. 

What We Are Building Together

Our tuition reflects the financial reality of creating a fully sustainable, impactful, and unique Montessori in today’s climate. We are deep believers in accessible Montessori, and plan to grow our financial aid options as our school gains its footing.

At Three Chairs, we believe a strong school is built on three responsibilities: to give children a high-quality, loving Montessori education; to create a workplace where teachers are paid fairly and treated with the respect our profession deserves; and to support the needs of families. Tuition is one mechanism of how we balance all three. 

Our Commitment To Financial Transparency

Independent early childhood schools are labor-intensive, highly regulated, and naturally costly to run. At Three Chairs, this is especially true, as we prioritize low teacher-to-child ratios and hire experienced, credentialed Montessori teachers. Every year, Three Chairs will share an annual financial summary with our enrolled families. We promise to be completely transparent about where our revenue goes.
