Each year, the Tabor College asks parents/carers for a contribution towards the costs of activities and special programmes. The college-wide agreements that apply to this can be found on the Tabor College website. Here you will also find a detailed explanation of the finances and the Voluntary Parent Contribution Scheme.

Parent contribution

For the 2026-2027 school year, we are asking for a general parental contribution of €75 per pupil. We spend this money on expenses that are not reimbursed by the government, such as the costs of preparing pupils for choosing further education, subscriptions to institutions of which the school is a member, the media library, the culture card, extracurricular activities, the parents' association and collective accident insurance. Every year, we account for the expenditure of the parental contribution to parents in the participation bodies. Payment of the voluntary parental contribution is not legally required. However, we do assume that this contribution will be paid for every pupil wherever possible.

Structure of the school invoice

On the invoice you receive from the school, in addition to the voluntary parent contribution, a number of other amounts are included. The so-called category 2 costs are not voluntary, but compulsory. These are for personal materials that last longer than a year, such as sports clothing, practical clothing, calculators, and so on. If parents/guardians order these materials themselves directly from a company, then they will of course not be on the invoice you receive from Tabor College. 

In addition, category 4 costs may be listed on the invoice you receive from the school. These are costs for extra activities outside the compulsory curriculum, organised by the school. Think of excursions, introductory camps, bilingual education, etc. We realise that the contribution for these costs is not compulsory. Therefore, we appreciate it all the more if you still support us, so that we can continue to organise these activities for all pupils.

Explanation of additional parental contribution TTO

In addition to the normal voluntary parental contribution, the school asks for an extra contribution for bilingual HAVO and bilingual VWO. This contribution is intended, amongst other things, for cultural activities, excursions, exams and the international exchange programme. That amount varies per year group and depends on the activities in the relevant year. An overview of income and expenditure is discussed annually within the TTO (bilingual education) parent council. Costs are higher in the upper years than in the lower years. It may be wise to start saving for the upper years.
