Registration Fee

Upon acceptance, one-time, non-refundable Registration Fee of $2,500 per family is required. This fee can be paid in full or in installments according to your payment plan, but must be paid within the first year at Hawthorn School.

Foreign students, boys registering in the junior school and girls coming from Hawthorn preschool are not required to pay the Registration Fee.

Capital Loan

To support the capital needs of the school, each family is required to provide a no interest loan of $2,500 to the school. The loan is repayable in full without interest 90 days after all students from the family have graduated from or left the school for any reason, and only after all deductions on outstanding accounts have been made. Foreign students, pre-school students and boys in the Junior School classes are exempt from the capital loan.

The capital amount may be donated to the school rather than loaned, and a charitable donation tax receipt will be issued.

Fundraising/Donations

At Hawthorn, one of the criteria for a student’s acceptance is the readiness of parents to assist in the school’s development through their financial support of fundraising initiatives. Financial support for Hawthorn is essential to cover the school’s operating costs and to provide for the future growth of the school, and all parents are expected to contribute in keeping with their means. Monetary gifts may be made directly to Hawthorn School for Girls. Income tax receipts are issued for all donations made to the school.

A one-time donation of $1,000 is suggested for foreign students.
