Flexible payment options
Inner Sydney Montessori School partners with Edstart to provide payment plans that fit around your budget.
To assist with your school fee payments, we are working with Edstart to provide Inner Sydney Montessori School families with flexible payment options to help you better manage school fees and other education expenses.
Edstart allows you to spread your fees into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments, as well as reduce your total annual costs by extending payments beyond the current school year.
You can use Edstart to fund tuition fees as well as additional charges, such as uniforms and extra-curricular activities.
