These figures reflect the School’s continuing efforts to operate efficiently while at the same time providing well-supported programs and maintaining small class sizes. School fees are paid in advance in two installments; the first due September 1st and the second due February 1st. Monthly and quarterly payment plans are also available.
 
Child Care Receipts
Child care receipts will be issued at the end of the calendar year to eligible parents of Elementary School students only. The parent’s social insurance number is required for the issuance of this receipt. Parents should be aware that a number of conditions have to be met in order to use these receipts for income tax purposes, and we suggest they contact their tax advisers before they proceed.
 
After-School Program and Homework Supervision
The Selwyn House After-School Program (K to Grade 6) is from 3:25 to 6:00 p.m. This program offers extra-curricular clubs and homework supervision. Currently, enrollment options range from full-time registration ($5,250/year) to occasional registration ($45/day). Homework Supervision is available for Grades 1 to 12 students (some fees apply).
 
Athletics Fees (Grades 5 to 12)
The majority of costs for athletics are covered in the school fees. However, this year, we are replacing the tri-annual sports chargebacks, which were of variable amounts, by a set fee depending on which sports a student participates in. Those fees can be found on the attached athletics fee table. There will be no other athletic fees or chargebacks except for non-league trips or non-compulsory training sessions. 
 
Other Fees
There will be an Activities/Transportation fee of $300 for grades k-4, $500 for grades 5-6 and $750 for grades 7-12. This charge will cover all field trips, school trips, winter carnival, or any other school activity that is considered compulsory. There may still be a charge for optional school activities.

Privatization Fund Abatement
Recognizing that this year’s tuition increase is extra-ordinary and follows previous years increases related to the ending of government subsidies, the board of directors has authorized a rebate of up to $1,200 to be funded by the school’s Path Forward Campaign to offset the full impact of the fee increase.

For New Students whose mother tongue is not English or French
Students whose mother tongue is not English or French and who necessitate additional language support, will be required to follow a supplemental English as a Second Language (ESL) and/or French as a Second Language (FSL) program for a minimum of one year. The fees for each of these programs will be up to $4,200 and are not included in the above fees.  
 
Bursaries and Scholarships
Selwyn House is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community. In order to broaden the availability of the Selwyn House experience, the school actively fundraises to be able to assist qualified students, entering Grades 7 to 12, who are in need of financial assistance. A bursary is defined as a financial needs-based scholarship. It directly reduces a student’s tuition fees and is not a loan. Bursaries at the Secondary School level are generally not taxable, though there are certain filing requirements. Parents who are interested in applying for a bursary may do so by using the Financial Aid for Student Tuition (FAST) online application form located on the Selwyn House website’s homepage. The purpose of this program is to analyze a family’s income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Once submitted online, FAST will analyze the information and send its recommendations to the school. The application is then reviewed by the Bursary Committee and parents are informed of the bursary for which they may qualify. Bursaries are awarded in the fall of the current academic year for the next academic year. For more information on bursary opportunities, please contact the Admissions Office at gervaisn@selwyn.ca or 514.931.2775.
