The Admissions Assessment will evaluate your child’s academic abilities across math and English. The assessment will also evaluate your child’s readiness for their grade level and enable the school to decide which class your child will be best suited. This is a great opportunity for the school to learn more about your child and for your child to ask any questions they may have, as well as learn a little more about our school environment.

Upon completion of the assessment, the Admissions Department will schedule a Family Admissions and Assessment Feedback meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to:

• Discuss your child’s assessment and to provide feedback, identifying areas of strengths and development
• Further understand your child’s goals and agree to expectations
• Provide an insight to our teachers so that they can identify how best to educate and support your child

Once a placement is offered, the Admissions Office will proceed  to contract signings. Providing the required student information is obtained within a timely manner, a student may be able to start school within 5 school days. Families can help the process by submitting all required documentation at the time of application.

Children are welcome to attend, however, if you would prefer them not to attend, that is acceptable too. This meeting discusses financial information that you may decide is not appropriate for your child to be a part of.

Both parents are welcome to sign and attend the meeting, however, the contract and payment authorization form requires only one signature.
