Volunteering
In order to keep tuition low, volunteering is a vital part of our school community. It is an excellent way to befriend other parents as well as foster the strong family bonds for which our school is known. It gives each of us a sense of ownership and pride in the school to which we have all contributed. We respect that time is invaluable, so an option to pay higher tuition in lieu of the volunteer time is available.
Tuition Assistance
We offer bursaries for families with demonstrated need. Child Care Subsidy is available in our SELC program. Please contact us for more information.
