Finding 5.6<br />

Of all BC school districts, VBE received the highest absolute revenue of $18M in offshore tuition in<br />

SY2013/14, but does not reach top quartile when revenue is taken as a percentage of MEd provincial<br />

grants.<br />

The opportunity to increase offshore tuition revenue is driven by two factors: price and enrolment.<br />

VBE’s tuition fees will increase to $13,000/year in SY<strong>2015</strong>/16 and to $14,000/year in SY2016/17,<br />

which should better align VBE with West Vancouver’s offshore tuition fee of $14,200/year for<br />

SY<strong>2015</strong>/16 and SY2016/17, leaving little opportunity to change tuition fees further, in the short term.<br />

On the enrolment side, VBE has experienced an increase of 50% in the number of international<br />

students, from SY2009/10 to SY2014/15. While, enrolment capacity has been reached at the more<br />

popular west side schools in the District, VBE is targeting an increase of 50 international students in<br />

East-side schools.<br />

The benchmarking suggests that if VBE were to achieve top quartile performance, revenues could<br />

increase by $2.1M, and if VBE were to achieve the performance of North Vancouver at 6.08% or West<br />

Vancouver at15.68%, revenues could increase between $8.6M - $50.8M. To limit reliance on funding<br />
