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 academic year 2025-2026, we are requesting a general parental contribution of €75 per student. This money will be used for expenses not covered by the government, such as the costs of preparing students for choosing further education, membership fees for institutions the school is affiliated with, the media library, the culture card, extracurricular activities, the parent council, and the collective accident insurance. We provide an annual account of how the parental contribution is spent to parents in the participation bodies. Payment of the voluntary parental contribution is not legally required. However, we do expect that this contribution will be paid for every student where 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. 

Please see the overview of school costs for 2025-2026.

Explanation of additional parental contribution TTO

In addition to the regular voluntary parent contribution, the school is requesting an additional contribution for the bilingual HAVO and bilingual VWO programmes. This contribution is intended for, among other things, cultural activities, excursions, exams, and the international exchange programme. The amount varies per year group and depends on the activities planned for that specific year. Annually, an overview of the income and expenditure within the TTO parent group is discussed. The costs are higher in the upper years compared to the lower years. It may be advisable to save up for the upper years.
