Fees

If circumstances exist where you are unable to pay your fees, you can apply to have fees waived by submitting an Application for a Waiver of Fees.

The fee waiver application deadline—for both school and transportation fees—is Dec. 16, 2024. For new EIPS families, the deadline is the latter of December 16 or 45 days after registration.

If it’s determined fees aren’t eligible to be waived, based on the submitted application, payment arrangements may be made with the school’s administration or the director of Student Transportation.

Students who leave their school prior to the end of the school year or semester shall be refunded school fees (excluding activity or extracurricular fees) on a prorated basis as outlined in AP 505: School and Administrative Fees.

One of the following statements regarding refunds will be outlined on each activity or event when the fees are assessed:

1. Refunds will be issued when students are unable to participate in this activity.
2. Refunds are available for the registration portion only. The cost of busing cannot be refunded.
3. We are unable to issue refunds for this activity due to fixed costs.

If a student is not able to participate in an activity and a refund or partial refund is available, it is the responsibility of the parent to contact the school to have the applicable portion of the fee removed from their account.

A student registered for an optional course—where a substantial amount of the course is related to activities—is not eligible to be refunded and is responsible for any related outstanding fees if the student is not able to participate or chooses not to participate in the activity.

Refund Process 
School fee refunds and credits on accounts will be applied in the following order:

• Payment of outstanding fees
• Left on account for future fees
• Transferred to sibling fees, on request
• By cheque

Due to rising costs, and for the first time since 2011, we have increased the fees (approx. 2%). Please click here to read the Notice of Fee Increase.

Commitment Fee (new families only - one per family) $150 - This is a deposit and will be deducted from your fees in September.
