The Admission Process
The sex and age of your child, as well as the program that you are applying to, affects the determination as to whether there is space available.
Wait Lists
When your complete application (including fee) has been received, your child will be placed on the appropriate wait list based on the Admission criteria listed above. Wait lists are active throughout the school year, but do not roll over from one school year to the next.
Available Spaces
The number of available spots will differ from year to year based on re-enrollment from currently enrolled children and their siblings.
Re-enrollment
Re-enrollment for children currently attending the school and their siblings is conducted in January. These children have priority.

Acceptance of new students will begin in early February once re-enrollment for currently enrolled children is complete.
For the 2024-2025 school year, all applicants will receive notification of their acceptance or the status of their position on the wait list no later than March 1, 2024.
Enrollment
Enrollment Fees and Enrollment contracts are due for all students no later than April 1 or two weeks after acceptance, whichever is later.
