Financial Aid

At Andover School of Montessori, we are committed to making our program accessible to families. Our Financial Aid Committee thoughtfully reviews all applications and allocates available funds to those who qualify.

Families must complete the NAIS School and Student Services financial aid application and submit their W-2 forms in order to be considered. The deadline to apply is February 5. ASM’s school code is 2729. Financial aid decisions are shared with acceptance letters. Because a family’s financial situation may change over time, financial aid applications must be renewed each year.

Important Information:

  • Financial aid is available for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8.

  • Families must reapply for aid each year; awards may be adjusted if financial circumstances change.

  • To ensure a thorough and equitable review, ASM requires financial information from all living parents/guardians.

    • Divorced or separated families must each complete a separate application. Information will not be shared between parties.

    • Single parents/guardians must provide proof of single-parent/guardian status.

  • Applications will only be considered complete once all required parts are submitted.

Enrichment Program

Andover School of Montessori is pleased to offer a rich and varied after school Enrichment Program from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m., during the school year. Classes are open to ASM students in all program levels. Many of our exceptional instructors come directly from well-established community organizations and businesses that specialize in inspiring children in areas of athletics, art, academics, science and technology and/or music and performing arts. Students are able to explore new learning opportunities or broaden their skills in an area they already love. New courses are added every session!
