Sibling discounts are offered to families who have two or more children concurrently attending Bishop Hamilton Montessori School.
Sibling discounts do not apply to students enrolled in the Infant, Toddler or Casa Programs that are part of CWELCC.
Exception: Elementary students with siblings in the Infant, Toddler or Casa Programs. In these instances, the discount will be based on the lowest tuition and applied against Elementary Enrolment fees.
The School offers a 20% discount for the 2nd child, and a 25% discount for the 3rd or more. The discount will apply to the lowest tuition of the siblings and is applied against the core Montessori component of the program for Infant, Toddler and Casa. The discount will apply to the School Day tuition amount for: Extended Day Casa, Elementary and Junior High students.
If a student is withdrawn for any reason, all sibling discounts and enrolment incentives provided to the family will be re-computed at the date of withdrawal. The incentives will apply only to that portion of the school year when both siblings attended BHMS. Regular, non-discounted fees will apply to the remainder of the school year for the continuing student.
The initial payment applies towards Tuition Fees and is due upon enrolment. This fee is non-refundable unless BHMS does not accept the application for admission.
Note: Students who enrol after January 1st, are required to enrol for the following academic year, therefore, an additional Enrolment and Initial payment of $1,100 is required. This amount is non-refundable.
$1,000 per applying student (non-refundable)
