TEPA Fees

for the 2024-2025 school Year

TEPA fees provide the basic funding for events and activities sponsored by TEPA. The suggested donation is $135 per student enrolled at The École, paid by parents. The goal of the Fees is to give parent volunteers a budget for enhancing students’ education and our school community overall. All École students benefit from TEPA’s work. You can learn more about this here: What We Do.

Fundraising and Donations are separate and go towards the TEPA Scholarship Fund unless otherwise specified

All donations, including TEPA Fees, are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
