SUMMARY OF AVAILABLE NUMBERS AND GAPS
- Published annual tuition rates by year group (JK–SK CAD 21,000; Gr 1–5 CAD 21,600; Gr 6–8 CAD 22,000) and the school's payment-policy details (deposit amounts, TUIO portal, service charges, credit-card surcharge, extended-care rates, and refund schedule) are available.
- The school's public materials do not publish a fixed per-term price table (per-term amounts are generated according to the chosen billing plan); explicit per-term amounts or a standardized term-count (e.g., 2-term vs 3-term) are not provided in the published fee information. This means per-term dollar amounts must be calculated from the chosen annual payment plan or by the billing schedule generated in the school's TUIO portal.
