Private School Costs for Mississauga Parents

If you are concerned about paying private school tuition, you should consult our Tips for Paying for Private School. Here are some additional helpful hints that you may follow:

• When you are searching for a school through our comprehensive school search, you may specify the tuition and the amount of financial aid that you need. See the "advanced search" box for this option.
   
• Many private schools in Mississauga allocate some money to scholarships and bursaries. Make sure to apply early for either of these grants! Each school does not provide the same percentage of paid tuition through scholarships and bursaries.
   
• Faith-based private schools, such as Christian, Catholic, Islamic, and Jewish schools, are usually less expensive than other types of private schools. In addition, paying for your child to go to one of these schools may qualify as a charitable donation for which you will, of course, receive a tax break.
   
• If you send your child to a private school for students with special needs, you may be eligible for a medical tax break. To learn more, read our guide to special needs school costs.
   
• Many community-based charities like the Rotary Club, for example, may assist you in paying for your child's private school tuition, especially if the local education options are inadequate for your child.
   
• In many provinces, preschool and daycare can be deducted as a childcare expense. To learn more, read our guide to preschool costs.
