Application fees
- No fixed public application fee amount is published. Parents begin the process by submitting the school's official Registration/Application form; once a place is offered the place is reserved for two weeks while registration is completed.
Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)
- The school issues an individualized, written financial offer (an "αναλυτική οικονομική προσφορά") for each candidate; specific annual or per-term tuition amounts by year group are not published as standard figures on the public materials. Parents receive the detailed tuition amounts and any optional-service charges as part of that formal offer and the registration/contract.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Key administrative dates: applications must be submitted by 20 March of the preceding school year; parents must have settled the school's financial requirements for acceptance by 30 March after notification of acceptance. The acceptance implies conclusion of a contract between the parent and the school.
- Payment timing: annual tuition may be paid either in a single payment (εφάπαξ) or in agreed instalments. Any instalment plan and the dates for instalment payments must be recorded in the Registration/Application form and agreed in writing before a payment becomes due.
- Late payment consequences: any overdue amount becomes immediately due; the school may suspend optional services (for example transportation or extracurricular activities) and may withdraw discounts if a payment is more than 30 days late. If arrears exceed 60 days the school may consider instalment arrangements forfeited and take further collection action.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not applicable. The institution operates as a day-school composed of a nursery/preschool (Παιδικός Σταθμός), kindergarten (Νηπιαγωγείο) and primary school (Δημοτικό); no residential/boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is published.
Other costs and optional charges
- Transport: use of the school's owned school buses is an optional service; transport arrangements and any related charges form part of the financial offer/registration agreement.
- Optional activities and extended-care services: costs for extracurricular activities, extended-care/after-school supervision or similar optional services are charged in addition to tuition and are included in the detailed financial offer when selected.
- Damage/repair: parents are responsible for repair or replacement costs for damage or excessive wear caused by a pupil to school property.
- Uniforms / school clothing / school meals / material lists: no standard public price list for uniforms or mandatory kit is published in the publicly available materials; charges for required materials, school supplies or meal plans (if any) are handled through the school's financial offer or administration at registration.
Refund information
- Paid tuition and amounts are not refundable in normal circumstances. Annual tuition is due for the full school year regardless of temporary or permanent withdrawal by the pupil, unless the interruption is caused by fault of the school; the policy states explicitly that paid amounts are not returned.
Fee payment options
- The school's public materials do not list a standard menu of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, etc.). Payment method and invoicing details are provided to parents in the school's written financial offer and recorded in the registration/contract. (The school does accept bank-deposit evidence for event/seminar prepayments in other contexts, indicating bank transfer/deposit is used for some payments.)
Practical notes for parents (procedural)
- After the initial presentation and approval, the school provides a written financial offer; the parent signs the application/registration and the agreed payment plan is recorded in that paperwork. Failure to meet the agreed payment dates may lead to suspension of services and to loss of previously granted discounts.
Summary of availability of numeric figures
- The school's public documents and the school's registration materials set out the procedures, deadlines and payment policies in detail but do not publish fixed, public tuition amounts by year group or per term. Specific numeric tuition rates and any one-off registration or enrolment charges are provided to parents in the school's individualized written financial offer and registration contract rather than as a general public price list.
Montessori School of Athens Maria Goudeli is a Montessori school in Greece serving children from 2.5 to 12 across levels: Nursery, Kindergarten, and Primary. Each class accommodates up to 23 students and is taught by one teacher with a Montessori assistant or specialist educator as needed. Classes use mixed-age groups, a prepared Montessori environment with natural materials, and work organized by students with teacher support. There is no homework in Primary, and the emphasis is on internal motivation, free choice, collaboration, and paced learning. The program fosters social development alongside strengthening logical thinking, while social skills are emphasized in the Toddlers' class. The school is owned by the Maria and Sotiris Goudeli Foundation, a nonprofit philanthropic foundation. The Montessori approach is adapted to the Greek context. The school runs a four-week Summer Camp after the school year, combining Montessori activities with swimming, excursions, crafts, and chess lessons, preserving Montessori ethos.
