Note:

There are income tax savings to offset the cost of school fees:

Tuition for Preschool/Daycare is 100% tax deductible

There are potential tax savings to offset your School Fees. We encourage you to speak with your accountant regarding these possibilities to see if your specific situation would potentially allow for a deduction of tuition fees, a portion of those fees, or any fees that can or would be associated with Child Care Expense Deductions. Aberdeen Hall does not give any assurances or opinions on the deductibility of tuition fees.

Provincial Independent School Grant

The Ministry of Education provides an annual grant for each qualifying student under the Independent School Support Act Grant. To qualify for this provincial grant the parent/guardian of the student must be a citizen of Canada, a landed immigrant who is a permanent resident of British Columbia, or lawfully admitted to Canada and a resident of British Columbia, and the student must attend school a minimum of 105 days between July 1st and May 15th. If the Ministry of Education determines a student does not qualify for the grant the student’s parent/guardian will be billed the difference. Please note the Provincial Independent School Grant is applicable to students in Kindergarten-Grade 12.

Aberdeen Hall School charges an additional International/Out-of-Province Fee of $3,000. The government of British Columbia provides operating grants to the school for most students enrolled in the School. Parents of students must be British Columbia residents and have Canadian Citizenship, or Landed Immigrant Status, or possess a valid work permit for employment in British Columbia for the grant to be received by the school. The International/Out-of-Province Fee shall apply to parents of students who do not meet these criteria. The grant is applied for by the school and is in addition to the tuition fee.
