Per‑term detail and per‑term billing
- The published fee schedules are presented as annual amounts for each programme. Families set up payment arrangements through the school's enrolment/financial agreement and the school's Auto‑Pay processing; specific per‑term invoice amounts and per‑term due dates are issued through the school's billing process described in the enrolment/financial paperwork.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- A signed Financial Agreement is required at registration and will set the payment schedule and method for each family; the CAD 2,000 deposit is collected with the application and applied to tuition on acceptance.
- Tuition payments are processed via the school's Finalsite enrolment system and Stripe payment processor. Payments are handled through an Auto‑Pay setup. Accepted payment methods and processing details: credit card (subject to a card processing fee of 3.05%) or PAD/EFT (no processing fee).
- The bussing program uses a separate bussing financial agreement; bussing options are billed as indicated on the bussing agreement (examples shown: full year pick‑up and drop‑off and single-direction options). The bussing agreement indicates bussing fees are due according to the bussing payment schedule (the bussing form shows full payment due when school starts as an option).
Boarding fees
- Tanbridge Academy is a day school (programs for Junior Academy, Kindergarten and Grades 1–9) and does not offer boarding places.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- School supplies, field trips, student activities, mandatory tuition insurance and culinary‑arts (where applicable by grade) are included in the published programme prices where indicated. Specific co‑curricular and skill‑development programmes carry the add‑on charges shown above.

Payment methods accepted for bussing include cheque, Plastiq (service fee applies), e‑transfer and other methods as specified on the bussing agreement.
Refunds and non‑refundable items
- The CAD 2,000 registration/membership deposit is non‑refundable.
- The bussing financial agreement states that fees and additional charges under that agreement are non‑waivable and non‑refundable when it is signed.
- The published programme pricing notes a Mandatory Tuition Insurance component is included in the listed prices; specific refund/claims provisions related to that insurance are governed by the insurance policy included in the enrolment/financial agreement. Families receive the Financial Agreement that sets out withdrawal and refund terms applicable to tuition and any insurance coverage.
Fee payment options and accepted methods
- Credit card payments via Stripe (credit card transactions are assessed a processing fee of 3.05%). Auto‑Pay through the Finalsite enrolment system is used to process recurring payments. PAD/EFT bank payments are accepted with no processing fee.
- Additional accepted payment channels shown in school forms and agreements include bank e‑transfer (accounting@tanbridge.com), cheque payable to Tanbridge Academy, and third‑party processors such as Plastiq (third‑party service fees may apply). These methods are used for specific charges such as bussing and incidental invoices.
Notes for families (concise, factual)
- New families pay a CAD 2,000 non‑refundable membership/registration deposit with their application; that deposit is credited toward tuition once acceptance is confirmed.
- Annual tuition figures are published by programme; the school's enrolment/financial agreement establishes the formal billing schedule (Auto‑Pay via Finalsite/Stripe, PAD/EFT or credit card).
- Skill‑development programmes (Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Dance, Equestrian, Recreation For Life) carry additional annual fees as listed above; some programmes offer lower‑intensity once‑per‑week options and higher‑intensity (98‑hour) skill‑development packages with higher charges.
- Bussing is priced separately and is invoiced under a separate bussing agreement; example annual rates are CAD 3,060.00 (first child, pick‑up & drop‑off), CAD 2,550.00 (additional child). The bussing agreement outlines payment timing and non‑refundability for those services.
