Residency

All students are expected to live with their parents, guardian or in the dormitory. Any exceptions must have the approval of the headmaster.

Student Aid/ Financial Assistance

The assistance is for families who are experiencing financial hardship and for whom all other options have been exhausted. Financial aid is not intended to help underwrite costs associated with those engaged in private business ventures or to subsidize those who have older children attending private universities in the U.S. or elsewhere.  The decision to award Financial Aid is made upon:

1. A determination of financial need: An application with evidence of income from a tax statement is required.
2. The years necessary for funding: Funding determination will be weighed by the length of time a student is in school. The aid is intended to be for emergency situations. Priority will be given to older students. It is not the intention to provide aid for a prolonged period of time. When the families’ financial condition improves, it is hoped that they can return aid money to the school so that other families may benefit.

The specific amount of aid granted to any individual student is dependent upon financial need, the total amount of money designated for financial aid in the annual school budget and the number of qualifying applicants each year. Assistance for more than one year at a time cannot be guaranteed.

A student must be enrolled in Canadian Academy for at least one year in order to be eligible for financial aid.
