Tell us about your school.
House of Durham (MCHD) lays foundations for intellectual, moral, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual competence in our students. We shape young people who have a sense of the grand order of the universe, who can assume their rights and responsibilities, find joy in learning, and who delight among the peoples and in the places where they live.

To accomplish these goals, MCHD implements classic Montessori principles of respect for the child’s capabilities, preparation of the environment in which the child can be successful, and observation of each learner’s style and progress.

We are a 501c3 non-profit, private, independent school in our 32nd year, with around 100 families and 130 students.

What systems/processes do you complete with TADS?
Financial Aid

How did you handle these systems/processes before TADS?
We used another financial aid processor.

Why did you choose TADS?
Because of the supporting data you request, and the data verification you do, and the fact that you handle following up with families for supporting data, rather than our having to. We also like your reporting, but this was not a big factor. Your customer service and how just plain nice you all are keeps us very happy and makes us not even look at any other competitor!

How has TADS improved your school and processes?
We feel much more confident of the quality of the information we are getting about the family’s situation. We like that you rate the quality of the information good, fair, and poor. We are still able to make our award decisions according to the principles and guidelines we set, but based on fair, comprehensive, and equalizing information.
