The cost of providing Christ-centered education at Redeemer Christian High School is funded by both parents of children enrolled in the school and a non-parent supporting community.  We do not operate on a fee-for-services-rendered basis because the value of Christian education is immeasurable in financial terms, and the viability of the school depends on much more than the financial contributions of parents.  For example, the efforts of unpaid volunteers, and the significant assets such as the land and building which have been provided by previous supporters, contribute substantially to our ability to offer a comprehensive education program.

Nevertheless, to ensure adequate financial resources for the operation of the school and equitable sharing of that obligation, tuition at Redeemer Christian High School for domestic students is calculated according to a formula based on 13% of income from all sources to a maximum tuition of $12,800 per year and a minimum tuition of $6,450. This tuition is a family rate, not a per student rate.  There is an additional fee of $500 for every extra child enrolled at Redeemer. (For example:  a family at the top of the scale will pay $12,800 if they have one child in our school, $13,300 for two children, $13,800 for three children, etc.)

Families with younger children enrolled in the following feeder schools will receive a reduction on their tuition at Redeemer Christian High School, as well as a tuition reduction at the independent elementary school where their younger children attend.  Feeder schools we have this agreement with include: Ottawa Christian School, Community Christian School, Timothy Christian School, Renfrew and District Christian School, Maryvale Academy and Bishop Hamilton Montessori School.  The amount of the tuition reduction varies from school to school, but can be up to 25%.  Please contact our This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Families are also requested to pay a $200 Student Incidental Fee, which students can draw from over the year for expenses like the cost of a class trip to a museum, the purchase of a new gym T-shirt, OC Transpo bus tickets, etc.  And parents are also required to submit a $500 Volunteer Hours cheque, which will be returned uncashed the following June if they complete their volunteer hours.

Redeemer Christian High School is a Registered Charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).  As such the school may issue charitable donation receipts for a portion of your tuition (the after "cost-per-pupil" amount).   This means that for most families, the after-tax cost is less than the pledged tuition amount.
