VALE is part of Douglas County's public schools, so we do not charge tuition. We strive to eliminate or subsidize as many fees as possible, but we do have a few fees that are approved by the BOE. What to expect:
- Instructional Material Fee: $40 All students: To recover part of the cost of textbooks, supplies, and consumable materials.
- VALE Polo Shirt: $20 This polo will be required for field experiences; the fee covers the cost of ordering the shirts.

- Parking Permit: $25 per semester, $50 for the year If your student will be driving to school, they will need to register their vehicle for a VALE parking permit. This will be available for purchase on MySchoolBucks and be picked up from the front desk. A copy of current car insurance and the student's driver's license will be required before a permit is released to the student.
