Tuition

RCOA is a BC Group 1 Independent Online School. As such, we qualify for 50% of the funding allocated to Public Online Schools by the provincial government. While this funding helps support our operations, it falls short of covering all associated costs.

To maintain the high quality of our educational programs and services, we supplement our income through tuition and fees for additional offerings. We are dedicated to keeping these financial obligations as low as possible, recognizing the significant time and resources families invest in home education.

We offer flexible payment options. After paying tuition and an initial deposit, ministry funds are allocated to classes or clubs that you sign up for. The remaining balances owing can be paid in full or in 10 monthly payments. This approach helps to keep home education accessible and affordable.

Our $25 application processing fee allows a thorough review of applications with multiple departments involved in reviewing and onboarding. This includes consultation, evaluating prerequisites, and learning support assessments.

If you enrol your child in RCOA and later decide to withdraw, refunds are possible, but it depends on the timing of your withdrawal. If you choose to withdraw from enrolment with RCOA on or before September 30th, you will be required to repay any expenditures incurred. However, if you withdraw on or after October 1st, you will be eligible for half of the Ministry funds and will need to repay any expenditures that exceed that amount.

Any deposits paid for onsite classes are non-refundable.
In the event you withdraw from any programming after July 1st, you will be responsible for one month’s payment.
At RCOA, we understand that circumstances may change, and we strive to provide clarity and transparency when it comes to our refund policies.
