For local applications, the total tuition paid at WRCA that will qualify as a charitable donation for tax purposes is estimated to be between 75%-90%. This can substantially reduce the net cost of attending WRCA.

The calculated cost for secular education per student attending WRCA is deducted from each student’s tuition fees paid, and the remainder “Christian Education” portion qualifies as a charitable donation for tax purposes.

This amount varies from year-to-year dependent on the cost of operating the school, the number of students attending, and the revenue received from sources other than tuition, for example, government grants.

This does not apply to students registered in our Junior Kindergarten (JK) or International Student Program (ISP).

Use our tuition calculator to get a quick estimate of your family’s tuition based on your children’s grades and enrollment. Tuition is calculated using the grade of your oldest child. Please note that this calculator is for local student applications.

Estimated Donation Receipt Calculation

Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) allows WRCA to issue a donation tax receipt to domestic students for the portion of tuition that is deemed to be towards religious education. The percentage is calculated through a complex formula approved by CRA. The approximate percentage of total tuition paid that a donation receipt will be issued yearly at the end of February. Note that this does not apply to students registered in Junior Kindergarten (JK) or our International Student Program (ISP). These calculations are based on tuition only and do not include additional program fees which may be included in the final donation receipt calculations.

Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Form Information

Parents are notified by email before PAD withdrawals occur.
PAD arrangements may be cancelled for the following school year by written request to nagtegaalh@wrca.ca.
Families who sign the Waiver of Pre-Notification do not need to submit a new PAD form each year when tuition changes or additional siblings enroll.
Even if tuition is paid in full, a PAD form and void cheque are still required to authorize miscellaneous fees and any applicable volunteer-hour forfeits.

Additional Information

Tuition is based on the grade level of the oldest child attending WRCA.
A child-care receipt is issued for all Junior Kindergarten tuition for tax purposes.
The total amount (school fees and tuition) includes all mandatory fees (retreats, field trips, music trips up to G7, G5 music rentals, IB exams and basic grad fees), but does not include optional fees (music trips G8 and above, music rentals for G6 and above, athletic fees, skiing, TLO trips and extra optional graduation fees).
Certain Senior School program fees are classified as additional tuition and are included when calculating tuition donation receipts. These include Outdoor Education, Mandarin, Drama, Spanish, music and fine arts trips, and TLO trips for Grades 9–12.
When four or more children from the same family are enrolled and attending WRCA at the same time, tuition is waived for the fourth child and each additional child. (Junior Kindergarten students are not eligible; full Junior Kindergarten tuition applies.)
