STEP.3
The school will conduct an Application Review. We will look at all your documents and determine if we can offer a place for your child(ren). Based upon the school’s judgment of the suitability of the educational program for each prospective student and space availability, applicants are admitted throughout the year.
STEP.4
An in-person entrance interview will be conducted to ensure that the student’s abilities and possible EAL support needs are understood. This interview is typically about an hour in length and includes a reading, writing, speaking and mathematics component.
