No, the only tax credits or deductions available are for Post Secondary educational institutions, colleges and Universities

No, you can't take a deduction for this, unless it's preschool to allow you to work, then you might be able to get a child care credit for some of it. If it's K-12, then no.

No, you can never deduct the cost of primary and secondary education.
