TEPA Fees

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.
