B. Parent Bond
A $5,000 loan is made payable to West Island College by each family, or its agent, on behalf of all students in the family who are attending or will attend the College. The family, or its agent, is released from the obligation and repaid on October 31 following the departure from the College of the last student in the family. The Parent Bond is not an interest bearing instrument.
C. Family Membership
A Family Membership Fee of $2,000 is payable once only and is non-refundable. It is paid at the time of registration of the first family member and extends thereafter to all siblings who qualify for the College's programme.
An individual membership of $1,000 is also available when only one child attends the College and enters at the Senior School level. If a sibling subsequently registers at the College, a second payment of $1000 would be required - this would complete a Family Membership.
D. Student Activity and Course Fees
This fee, a function of a student's course selection, is estimated to be $750. It includes text book rental, workbook purchases, lab fees, field trips and the Student Activity Fee (SAF). The (SAF) is directed to the Students' Council which oversees its expenditure.
E. School Supplies and Optional Activities Fees
Students are responsible for purchasing all school supplies required for the courses they will pursue. It is suggested that students wait for classes to begin before buying materials. For the first few days of classes, a binder with looseleaf paper will meet the needs of all classes. Art supplies and laboratory (computer and science) supplies are purchased through the school and are covered in the Course Fees. Optional Activities Fees are collected for items such as sports team merchandise etc.
