While the vast majority of Montessori schools throughout the country operate as private institutions, May Sands Montessori School does not charge tuition but relies on State funding, grants, and donations to operate its programs. May Sands Montessori School will continue to thrive and grow, through the collective efforts of its staff, its families, and the community at large. The May Sands Montessori School is a community-centered organization worth supporting.
