Paying for a private school in Ajax
Private school tuition is expensive, but there are numerous ways to make tuition more affordable. Here’s a look at how to reduce or even eliminate costs:
- Scholarships and bursaries. Scholarships are merit-based grants offered by schools and other organizations, available to students with strong academic standing. Bursaries are available to those who demonstrate clear financial need. The Ajax high school or secondary school may recommend a financial institution that will assess your finances to determine if your family is eligible for a bursary.

- Provincial tax credits are available to many Ontario families. If you send your child to a faith-based school in Ajax, your tuition may qualify as a charitable donation, for which you can receive a tax rebate. Similarly, if you enrol your child in a special needs school, costs can be considered medical expenses.
- Ajax has a number of community support organizations that can also help with private school tuition, especially if your child has specific needs public schools can not deal with.
Private school regulations in Ontario
Private schools in Ajax are subject to provincial regulations, of course. An Ajax private high school that wants to issue credits must undergo inspections from the Ontario Ministry of Education. As with all Ontario schools, independent schools must meet standard criteria. That said, the schools listed above go far beyond the provincially mandated curriculum, and infuse it with richly innovative educational approaches.
