2. Tax Information Payee(s) are issued a charitable tax receipt in February for the portion of tuition paid that pertains to religious instruction (please note, any payments for which a charitable tax receipt has been issued are non-refundable). The receipt amount var-ies from year to year and is calculated in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency requirements. In recent years, on aver-age, Heritage Christian School families have benefited by receiving a charitable tax receipt equivalent to approximately 60% of total tuition. This benefit may be used to reduce the amount of personal income tax paid and, consequently, reduce the total cost of tuition. For Example: A family with two children would pay $6,805 in annual tuition, or $680.50 per month, and receive a charitable tax receipt of approximately $4,083. Based on 2018 tax rates, the charitable receipt would generate non-refundable federal & provincial tax credits of approxi-mately $1,818.54. Therefore, the annual net-after-tax cost of tuition would be $4,986.46 ($6,805.00 - $1,818.54) or $498.65 per month, $181.85 less than the posted monthly tuition rate. 3. Secondary Tuition Supplement The Secondary tuition supplement of $250 per grade 8 to 12 student allows for many middle and secondary school programs (ie. reduced retreat costs, electives, field trips, chrome books, etc.). It can be paid in full or built into the monthly tuition pay-ments. This is non refundable. 4. Tuition Assistance Families seeking financial assistance can complete an assistance application available online after February 22, 2019 at https://goo.gl/zMfOm0. Regular tuition will be charged until the application is submitted and approved. Assistance is based solely on your family’s income and allocated funds for this program are limited. CRA requirements: Families receiving a Tuition Assistance Bursary will be issued a T4A in the youngest student’s name. 5. Parent Participation To further our community spirit every family will complete 20 volunteer hours in areas of the school where they feel gifted. Once you’ve completed your hours, let the HCS office know so that $200.00 will not be debited from your bank account on June 1st, 2020. It is our desire to see that each family participate in their child’s education so that it is not necessary to de-posit the preauthorized payments.

1. Tuition Tuition is received to supplement the cost of education for students. HCS is a Group 1 Independent School, and receives 50% of the per-student-funding given to School District #23. If you choose to withdraw your student(s) early from HCS, the first months tuition as well as 10% of the remaining tuition for the year will be held to cover administration costs.
