TUITION AND FEES
Tuition Fees (2024–2025)
There is a 10% and 15% reduction in tuition fees for full-time second and third siblings respectively. Please note there is no discount for the Junior Kindergarten programme. Junior Kindergarten tuition will be reduced by the total amount of the Affordability Grant. For the latest Affordability Grant amounts please visit: https://www.alberta.ca/affordability-grants-for-child-care-programs.
There are no additional fees for local field trips, school clubs, student insurance, agendas, textbooks, workbooks, and elementary school classroom supplies.
Non-resident students residing in Canada, by virtue of a student visa, are not eligible for the Alberta subsidy for resident students. Consequently, these students must assume the total cost of education each year they attend the school.
