The most expensive private schools in Canada

Find a list of top most expensive Canadian private schools

Here, we present a list of the top 25 most expensive private schools in Canada. Schools with higher tuition rates are less affordable, but they also tend to have some great perks. These might include impressive facilities with lots of extracurricular activities, cutting-edge technological resources, specialized programs, and student support services. Some pricier schools have also built a strong reputation in Canada and abroad, meaning these schools may be recognized as the most prestigious high schools in Canada. 

Cost, though, should not be confused with excellence. Just because a school is expensive doesn’t mean it’s a great school or, more to the point, the right fit for your child. Furthermore, some of the most prestigious high schools are relatively more affordable (partly due to their robust financial aid programs). In choosing a school, look at far more than price, and consider its academics, programs, community, culture, and much more.
