If so, you are part of a nation- wide trend. In nearly every prov- ince, private school enrolment is on the rise. Over the past few years, private school enrolment in Canada has risen by almost 17 per cent while public school enrolment has decreased by 8 per cent. While you're debating whether or not to send your kids to a private school, here are a few things you should know -- especially when it comes to saving for their private school education. Know the cost The cost of private school varies based on factors like the type of school and pro- gram. Boarding programs, where tuition covers room and board, are the most expensive. According to the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), private school tuition and boarding fees range from $30,000 to $60,000 per year, with schools in large cities at the higher end of the price range. Generally, faith-based schools have the lowest fees and you'll also likely pay less while your child is in the lower grades. Keep in mind that tuition can increase annually and doesn't always include such necessities as laptops, books, transportation, lunches and uni- forms. Many private schools offer programs to ease the financial burden, and be sure to � nd out if your child is eligible for a merit- based scholarship or a needs- based bursary. If you enrol more than one child, the school may o� er a discount. Know how to pay for it The best way to pay private school tuition is to plan ahead and save. A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is an excellent choice since any income earned isn't taxed and there are no withdrawal restrictions -- you can take out as much as you need, at any time, without tax or repayment requirements. But to make the most of it, you must start early, even while your child is in diapers, and contribute the yearly maximum amount -- that way, you'll have much longer to save and get the biggest bene� t from compound growth. It's good to know you can also use � nancial gifts from fam- ily members -- perhaps that wedding gift from your grand- parents -- as TFSA contribu- tions. There are plenty of options when it comes to selecting a TFSA investment type, including cash, mutual funds, individual securities, guaranteed invest- ment certi� cates (GICs), bonds and even certain shares of small business corporations.
