REGISTRATION will open October 26 and close the Friday before each session (or when full).

If your child is already attending an EIPS school in the current year, you can register and pay for Diploma Prep courses by logging into the PowerSchool Parent Portal the same way you usually do to pay fees. You do not need to create a new Parent Portal account to register for Diploma Prep.

Once you are logged into the Parent Portal...

1. Select the student fees icon (the green dollar sign) under the navigation menu
2. Click on the appropriate student’s name tab that you want to register
3. Select the appropriate Next Step Diploma Prep course(s) in which you’d like to register
4. Pay for the item/s in your cart
   
   

Students are not considered registered unless payment for the Diploma Prep course is made at the time of check-out.

Please note: Each of your children already attending an EIPS school must be linked to your Parent Portal account in order for you to be able to view and pay their fees through this system. Visit our PowerSchool page for instructions on how to create a Parent Portal account and link all of your children to that single account.

Wondering when and how to pay for school fees? School fee information for the 2026-27 school year will be posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal in late September. All fees are due within 30 days of being posted. NOTE: Additional fees may be added throughout the year—for example, at the beginning of each semester, as your child takes part in various activities, or they may be adjusted by changes in selected optional courses in junior and senior high school. If you’re unable to pay your school fees, you can apply to have certain fees waived. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2026.

For more information, visit the school website, under the About > Fees tab. Alternatively, contact our Business Manager, Jennifer Gibson at jennifer.gibson@eips.ca or at 780-464-7127.
