Hilltop Montessori School seeks to provide life-changing Montessori programming for children in the Steubenville, Ohio area regardless of ability to pay.

Montessori is the only education method that is proven to eliminate the achievement gap due to education. Children low-income families achieve at the same high rate as those from upper-income families if they were in a Montessori program early in their life. 

Montessori is typically only available to upper-income families, however, because such schools are typically independent. We keep our tuition modest by comparison to the state average, and then offer both a sliding scale and a tuition offest program to reduce how much we ask of families who still cannot afford even that amount. We rely on the generosity of donors to make this possible.
