The school at a glance
Dayton Montessori Society offers a nature-based Montessori alternative in Huber Heights for children through elementary age. Its full-day kindergarten and elementary tuition is published at the same annual rate, and the school confirms that it accepts both EdChoice routes. Families should include the materials charge and elementary physical-education expenses, as well as payment-plan charges if applicable. Early-payment and sibling discounts cannot be added to an EdChoice calculation under the school's policy. Transportation is not provided, making the commute and any before- or after-school care important parts of the comparison. This is a plausible cost-conscious candidate for families seeking a nonsectarian Montessori setting rather than a conventional faith-based program. Confirm the current highest grade and the exact scholarship-approved program before enrolling, then compare the complete annual bill with the time and travel the household will need.
Published $8,900 full-day rate plus state support creates a plausible budget-conscious Montessori choice; adds Dayton geography.
