What the charity exists to do

It aims to reduce financial barriers to education by providing financial assistance and bursaries to new and existing students of Edinburgh Montessori Arts School whose families are experiencing financial hardship, helping them to meet the costs of school fees. It also supports the development of educational and community outreach programmes, activities and projects that benefit both students of the school and children and families in the wider community.
