For the 2026-27 and 2027-28 school years we have a limited number of spaces in some grades for both local and international students. We also have spaces in the 11th grade for Study Abroad students.
If you are interested in knowing more about availability you can start here by filling in this introductory form.
Monteverde Friends School has been serving children of members of the Monteverde Friends Meeting and other local families who value Quaker education for over 75 years. We also appreciate the richness of perspectives international students bring. Students are admitted regardless of race, creed, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.
To make the school accessible for local families, approximately 40% of our students receive significant aid. Once a student has been accepted, applications for financial assistance are reviewed.
