Private School Tuition Fees

Generally, the cost of tuition for private school for elementary and secondary school students is not tax  eductible.  There are non-refundable tuition and education tax credits available for qualifying post-secondary education.

There are special circumstances in which all or a portion of the fees paid to a private school may be considered a donation, and qualify for the charitable donations tax credit.  Two types of schools may be able to provide charitable donation receipts for all or a portion of fees:

  1. those which exclusively teach religion, and
  2. those which operate in a dual capacity, providing both academic and religious education.  OGS FALLS UNDER THIS CATEGORY. 

    Insha'allah by the end of February, 2010, tuition tax receipts will be issued by our head office in Ottawa for the portion of fees that is deemed to be religious instruction.  If you have any questions in this regard, please feel free to contact the school for further explanation.
