Tuition *Please inquire for mid-year enrolment fees, as they vary depending on the month of enrolment, and are different than the full price listed below.
Our tuition fee includes all of our educational programming and most traditional school supplies. The tuition fee for the 2022-23 school year is $12,000 (Grades PK-9). Payment structure options are either:
Sibling Rates
Payments are preferred through electronic money transfer (EMT), but are also collected through cheque, or cash. Please make cheques payable to Via Vita Academy Ltd. and/or EMT payments to [email protected]
Receipts
For tax purposes, children in the pre-K program are issued a full receipt of all fees paid. For school-aged children, we can issue a receipt of 40% for childcare expenses, per school aged child. This is calculated at $5/hour for 3 hours/day of childcare, allowing 1.5 hours for recess and lunch, .75 hours at the start of each day and .75 hours at the end of each day. Families who pay additional fees for After School Care will receive an additional receipt for childcare.
Late Registration
If space is available, registration will remain open after the start of September. If late registration occurs, tuition, including your non-refundable deposit, will be prorated.
Refund Policy
If you are leaving, we are very sad to see you go! We expect to be working closely with you every step of the way to ensure your departure runs smoothly on both ends. You deposit is non-refundable. We require four months notice and payments for withdrawal. No refunds will be given after February 1st for any withdrawals and payments for the remainder of the school year are still required.
NSF Policy
There is a charge of $25 in the case of each NSF cheque
Overdue Fees Policy
We are a small school. Every student and family is valued and is important to the life of the school. We expect each family to work with the payment policies of the school to ensure its survival. Payments are expected to be secured upon enrolment and for all potential hiccups to be dealt with efficiently and responsibly by Via Vita Academy and the families involved. Therefore, if a payment is missed, no matter the reason, it is expected that the payment will come in as soon as possible. For every full week a payment is late, a fee of $25 will be added to the original tuition payment. If this pattern reaches 3 months of missed payments, active recruitment will begin to replace that student’s spot in the Academy and teaching reports will be withheld from the family until all fees are paid in full.
Extra Fees & Supplies
Via Vita Academy provides all basic school supplies for work at school. Students are required to provide their own lunch, snacks, water bottle, school outing fees, outdoor gear, uniform, technology device, yoga mat, and various other small items throughout the year.
