Desert Willow Montessori Autism Academy:
Our 1st grade through 5th grade Autism program is Monday-Thursday 8:30am-2:30pm. This program is a much smaller ratio that requires additional staffing. The teacher/student ratio is 1;6. Students will have access to additional resources and classes as well as additional materials. In the event that a student needs their own aid, we use ESA funds to hire additional staff. We also provide in house speech therapy and ABA Therapy. We also encourage your child's current speech therapist, occupational therapist and ABA therapist to come in and work with students during our school hours. This allows for children to stay in their comfortable setting. Due to our Autism program requiring much more support, the cost of tuition for this program is higher to ensure students get the best.
Kindergarten:
$12,000 per year ($3,000 due quarterly)
1st Grade-5th Grade:
$28,000 a year with tuition being due quarterly ($7,000 quarterly).

ESA INFORMATION
Parents have the right to choose what’s best for their family and have their education tax dollars pay for the school that meets their child’s needs. Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) make that possible.
With the ESA program, the money that would pay for that student’s education in a neighborhood school follows that student to whichever school the parents choose for their child, including education at home.
ESA dollars cover multiple education expenses such as private school tuition, curricula, educational supplies, tutoring and more.
