Annual Giving and the Gala Auction provide an important source of revenues for the school, thanks to generous donors. Our goal is to make Jarrow affordable to all qualified families. In this way, families are assured of a confidential and unbiased review of their financial statements. SSS provides a recommendation of an amount the family should be expected to pay, and the school underwrites the remaining tuition. Parent involvement is welcomed at Jarrow.
Many parents are classroom volunteers or serve in other volunteer capacities at the school.
Parent-teacher conferences are held twice each year to gauge students' progress and address any overriding concerns. Any daily issues or questions about your student should be directed to the teacher first, and to the Head of School if there is not resolution. Research shows that students, teachers, and parents all generally agree that Montessori alumni are independent workers, have good work habits, and adjust well to new situations. They rate well for their reading, writing, and math skills. We follow a rolling-admission policy and accept application materials at any time.
