The Montessori School of Raleigh's program expenses, in large part, are budgeted and determined in advance of the start of the academic year. Accordingly, the withdrawal of the student does not materially reduce the expenses of the School. The Financially Responsible Party, or "FRP," will be responsible for the following financial obligations if the student withdraws after executing the enrollment contract and: 

• Student is withdrawn on or before May 31: The "FRP" is responsible for the Non-Refundable Deposit and the Non-Refundable New Family Fee. 
• Student is withdrawn between June 1 and June 30: The "FRP" is responsible for the Non-Refundable Deposit, the Non-Refundable New Family Fee and $1,500. 
• Student is withdrawn on or after July 1, but before school starts: The "FRP" is responsible for the Non-Refundable Deposit, the Non-Refundable New Family Fee, and $3,500. 
• Once school starts, the "FRP" will be responsible for 100% of the Comprehensive Fee, unless the "FRP" has opted into the Tuition Refund Protection Plan (TRPP), in which case the provisions of TRPP will apply. 
• The School’s Tuition Refund Protection Plan (TRPP) provides protection from financial loss due to the unanticipated withdrawal of a student (required or voluntary) from the school or the program. The 2024-2025 Tuition Refund Protection Plan (TRPP) information can be found HERE.
