Take a Tour
What does a tour look like?
A one-on-one discussion with our head of school where we'll learn more about you and your child, and give you the full introduction to our school:
-
What our classrooms look like (including class sizes and materials)
-
Tuition information
-
Who makes up our wonderful, dedicated staff
-
What the "Montessori Method" is (and why it leads to a lifelong love of learning)
-
A "day-in-the-life" of our students
After your tour, you'll have plenty of time to ask questions! No matter the circumstance, we want you to be as informed as possible before making a decision on your child's future. ​

Note: Selecting a morning tour slot may allow an opportunity to see children in their classrooms.

Scholarships
Discovery Garden uses the TADS Financial Aid Assessment program to determine scholarship amounts. Applications will be accepted during the spring semester each year and awarded for the following school year in June. Families must reapply for financial assistance every year. Awards are based on the relative need of families that have applied, and on the funds available.
We email scholarship applications in the Spring to both returning and waitlisted students.
Contact us if you would like to donate to fund additional scholarships for students. Email us here.
