Note:
There are income tax savings to offset the cost of school fees:
1. Tuition for Preschool is 100% tax deductible
2. Tuition for Kindergarten to Grade 12 is partially tax deductible
3. A child care fitness tax credit is also issued annually for income tax purposes for those students who participate in after school sports that they paid a fee for.
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.
International / Out-of-Province Fee
Aberdeen Hall School charges an additional International/Out-of-Province Fee of $2,700.00 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.
Outstanding Accounts

In the event that an account remains unpaid at the end of the current school year, the student will not be permitted to return to Aberdeen Hall for the following school year until the account is fully paid plus interest based on 5% per annum interest rate.
