Why tuition is lower than you might expect

Tuition does not cover what it costs to provide lessons, classes, and programs for FMDG students. Thanks to the generous support of our donors — individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies — tuition is significantly subsidised to remain affordable for students and families.
