Probably, since it isn't a public school

As I understand the OP, the donation goes above and beyond tuition, cost of equipment, books, etc. Is this Montessori school a non-profit school? Because an educational organization *can* be an IRS qualified charity, OP might be able to deduct the donation. If the school gives some sort of written communication to the OP for tax purposes (receipt), maybe he could deduct it?
