Fees and Tuition

Once we have had the opportunity to meet you and your child, our Admissions team will provide you with access to the applicable registration form. To fully secure your registration/re-enrollment, the Registration/Re-enrollment Fee and September Tuition Fee will be due either during our re-enrollment period (by the first Friday in March) or immediately upon notice of a successful application. This allows us to plan staffing/resources for the school year.

All fees and tuition include taxes.

Pre-Kindergarten

Our Pre-Kindergarten operates every school day from September to June from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, according to our website’s School Calendar. To be flexible for families’ varied work and personal schedules – while ensuring that children get the maximum benefit from our curriculum – morning drop-offs may occur between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, and afternoon pick-ups only between 3:30 and 4:30 PM.

Students must be at least three years of age prior to the start of the school year. We deliver differentiated instruction through Fine Arts-infused programming. A considerable portion of the day will be dedicated to programmed instruction for all children demonstrating a readiness to learn.

 Monthly tuition (see chart) plus non-refundable Annual Registration Fee of $100.

Kindergarten to Grade 12

Base Tuition

Tuition fees are calculated on an annual basis. Full (undiscounted) tuition for the school year is $8,500 for a single student attending full-time. Tuition for September is due on the first Friday in March or at registration (if after that date) and is non-refundable (except for the Pre-payments Refunds policy below).

Sibling Discounts

We are pleased to offer a 10% discount to families who have more than one child enrolled at the school. The discount is applied to the tuition for siblings of the first child.

Application Fee

The Application Fee is a non-refundable, one-time contribution of $1,000 per student to offset the time and expense that comprise the intake process for new students and will also be used for future campus development. This fee is due at registration.

Re-Enrollment Fee

The Re-Enrollment Fee is a non-refundable, annual contribution of $350 per family to build the infrastructure of the school and will be used for projects and materials to enhance student learning.

Chromebook Deposit for Middle/High School Students (Grades 6 to 12)

A one-time $100 Chromebook Deposit will be collected for middle/high school students (new registrations and those entering Grade 6 at re-enrollment). The deposit is held until students graduate and return the Chromebook in good working condition. At that time, you may request reimbursement or choose to donate the deposit amount to ArtsCalibre Academy.

Core Elective/Tech Fee for Middle/High School Students (Grades 6 to 12)

The Core Elective/Tech Fee is an annual contribution of $200 per student that is collected for students entering middle/high school (either at registration or re-enrollment), to assist with specialized elective supplies, such as kayaks for Outdoor Pursuits, wood or metal, guest speakers and musical theatre. Please note – the Equestrian (horseback riding) elective, has a separate fee.

There may be additional costs for certain class field trips, project supplies and middle/high school electives.

Should you need to withdraw your registration/re-enrollment before the start of the school year, your September tuition fee pre-payment is 50% refundable if we receive written notice (email is acceptable) prior to May 1^st. On or after this date it is fully non-refundable.
