About Our Accessible Tuition Model

​

We believe that educational opportunities should be available to all families, regardless of financial means. We are committed to maintaining a student body that truly reflects the socioeconomic diversity of the Fort Smith community.  

 

Hollyhock does not have one tuition rate –  instead the tuition rate for each family is calculated from the family’s annual income with the intended result that most families pay a similar percentage of their annual income to share the collective cost of the program as a whole.  This is a bit more complicated than posting a standard tuition rate, but we think the outcome is worth the trouble.  

​

​

A few notes about tuition:

 

  • Aside from a $100 enrollment fee, our tuition rates are the true cost of our program (8:30-3:15).  There are no additional fees or fundraising expectations. 

​

  • We reserve a certain number of spots at each rate, and rates range from $4500 to $8900.

​​

​

  • We are an ACE Scholarship partner school.  ACE Scholarships are stackable with EFA Vouchers, and are available to kindergarten students with household incomes that fall under ACE limits.  You can find more information here: ACE Scholarships in Arkansas

The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
