Enrollment 2025/26
TUITION INFORMATION
Redeemer families pledge a yearly amount based on 13% of their income. This sliding scale tuition formula provides extensive financial support to lower income families. There is a supplemental tuition fee of $1,000 for each additional student per family.
If additional support is required, these families are urged to contact their relatives, friends and faith communities. Families may also apply for a bursary through the Christian School Foundation and/or through RCHS directly.
The financial support under the sliding scale tuition formula is made possible through non-parent donors, members of the school association, volunteers, and fundraisers such as the annual Redeemer auction. You are encouraged to support these initiatives so Christian education continues to be available to families at different economic levels.
In situations of divorce or marital separation, please email businessmanager@rchs.on.ca for instructions on how to calculate your tuition prior to completing the pledge form.
All students pay an extra fee of $500, which covers the following:
-
$200 for the student account for school related incidentals such as cafeteria, athletic teams, yearbook, art course fee, French cahier, student council activities etc.
-
$300 for class trips
Families with elementary school aged children at a RCHS partner school (approved by RCHS board), receive a 25% discount on tuition. By applying the discount, you agree that verification may be requested from the partner school.

Family Volunteer Program
Redeemer's Family Volunteer Program encourages families to offer their time and talents for the benefit of the school community. Two-parent families are required to complete 30 hours, and single parent families are required to complete 15 hours. If hours are not completed by the end of the academic year, a fee of $400 will be charged for two-parent families, and a fee of $200 will be charged for single parent families. If part of the hours requirement is completed, the fee will be reduced proportionally. Parents can find more information about this program on Edsby, or by emailing info@rchs.on.ca.

After-Tax Cost of Education
Canada Revenue Agency considers religious education to be a charitable activity. Redeemer, as a registered charity, is permitted to issue a charitable receipt for the portion that may be over and above the cost of education. The cost of education is the cost of providing the non-religious portion of each student’s education. This number is determined annually, following CRA rules and regulations.​

Questions or financial concerns can be directed to the Treasurer: Jennifer Harwood at jharwood@rchs.on.ca.
