What is the Hardship Rate Relief?

 

The Hardship rate relief is a discretionary source of financial help available to all parents seeking to register their child for full time attendance.

​

The aim of the relief rate is to help improve access to Montessori education. It is a discounted rate payable for a specific period. It’s a discretionary relief, which means it’s not guaranteed to be offered.

Once offered it will remain applicable for the duration of the academic year.

In some exceptional cases, provided your circumstances remain the same, relief rate may be offered for a longer duration. When applicable, this would be made clear at the time of the offer.

​
