Fees
Application fees
- Registration/application fee: Payment of the registration fee is required before a student may begin attending on the first day of school.

Tuition fees (by year group and payment frequency)
- Specific annual or per-term tuition amounts by grade or year group are not available in the school's publicly accessible materials that could be retrieved. The school publishes an official 2026/27 fee schedule but the schedule file could not be accessed for extraction; therefore detailed tuition figures per year group and per term cannot be listed here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The registration fee must be paid prior to the student's first day of attendance.
- Before-and-after-school care (Kindergarten to Grade 4) is charged per day and billed to the family through a monthly invoice. Parents must notify the school before a child may participate.
- Limited school bus service is offered for eligible students (priority based on distance and grade levels); specific bus fees and billing details are not listed in the publicly accessible text.
- The school's published fee schedule contains the formal payment schedule and late/returned-payment policies, but that schedule could not be retrieved for extraction in this report.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not listed among the school's programs; Faith Academy operates as a day school and does not charge boarding fees.

Other fees and typical additional costs
- Uniform shirts (school T-shirts) are sold at the campus offices for CAD 10 each. Hoodies are sold by occasional orders; price varies by order.
- Small per-use fees apply for the before-and-after-school program (charged per day and billed monthly). Specific per-day rates are not published in the accessible content.
- Transportation (bus) may incur charges for eligible families; specific rates were not published in the retrievable materials.

Refund information
- The registration fee is required prior to attendance. The publicly accessible admissions text does not give full refund policy language for registration, tuition, or other fees in-line; the formal fee schedule and registration terms (which normally state non-refundable items and withdrawal notice requirements) could not be retrieved for this summary.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- The admissions content does not list specific payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, online payments) for regular tuition and account billing in the accessible page text. The school's formal fee schedule and account/payment instructions (which typically list acceptable payment methods) could not be opened for extraction.

Brief summary of retrieval and gaps
- The school's admissions page references a 2026–2027 Fee Schedule (PDF) and includes several fee-related notes (registration must be paid before the first day, uniform T-shirts CAD 10, before-and-after-care billed monthly), which were extracted and are presented above. The school's published 2026/27 fee schedule file could not be accessed for full extraction (it is linked as a downloadable fee schedule), so detailed tuition amounts by grade/year, specific per-term figures, late-payment charges, returned-payment fees, and explicit refund rules that normally appear in the fee schedule are not available in this overview.
