A guiding principle at Bergen-Lafayette Montessori School is that families choose learning environments for their children, which are consistent with their values and in which they have full confidence. Registration forms and fees from newly enrolling families will only be accepted after at least one adult family member has had the opportunity to participate in a one-hour Bergen-Lafayette Montessori School information session.

The enrollment process for Bergen-Lafayette Montessori School occurs in several parts, giving families a window of opportunity to become familiar with the school’s programs before a full commitment is made for the school year. The first step in the process is to complete the annual enrollment forms and remit the registration and materials fee. The annual registration and materials fee, collected at the time of registration and accompanied by required enrollment forms, is non-refundable. The second step in the process is to sign the Tuition Agreement, which outlines a family’s financial obligation to the school, to remit the Activity Fee, and to remit the equivalent of one month’s tuition. The Activity Fee and tuition collected at the time the Tuition Agreement is signed are non-refundable. The third step in the process is to remit the July 1, 2024 tuition payment, selecting either annual or semi-annual for a tuition discount, or monthly. Families may choose to withdraw their child’s enrollment, after registering, provided they cover the Broken Enrollment Fee policy.
