	Additional Expenses
	At Far Brook, as at most independent schools, tuition does not cover the full cost of operating the school for a year. In addition to tuition and fees, parents will be contacted regarding voluntary participation in the Annual Fund which helps to cover the annual operating budget. As a non-profit, independent educational institution, we rely on parents, alumni, and friends for voluntary support. All contributions to the Annual Fund are tax-deductible. The activity fee covers the cost of classroom activities, field trips, expenses associated with interscholastic athletics, and the overnight trips taken by the Junior High. There are no additional fees for text books or lunch. Text books are distributed in class. Students bring their own lunch each day. Currently, bus transportation is provided free of charge by the Millburn Board of Education to families who reside in Millburn Township or the Village of Short Hills. Bus transportation may be available for students in other locations for an additional fee, depending upon the number and geographic range of requests. After-School Programs are offered for an additional fee. Instrumental Music Lessons can be arranged through the Music department for an additional fee.
