Elementary and Secondary School fees: Fees for international students at public schools are set by the province or by individual school boards, which usually have authority in a region or, in the case of large metropolitan areas, in a section of a city. Many boards charge no fees; other boards charge fees ranging from about $7,000 to $11,500 per year. Where a fee is charged, some special services such as counselling are often provided. Consult the individual school boards for precise information (names and addresses of school boards may be obtained from the provincial ministries of education). Private schools set their own fees.
