Admission Procedure

We follow a three step process for all applications received:

Step 1 – Review of Application

A school application form is submitted online to the Admissions Coordinator along with supporting documentation as well as the $50.00 processing fee. (Note: You will need to create a Login Account if you do not already have one.) Once the application form, processing fee and required documents are submitted, an applicant is added to the queue. The Admissions Committee may request additional information, documentation, or assessments and, with parent/guardian consent, may occasionally contact the child’s teacher for additional information. The application will be processed in a timely manner and the family will be notified of whether or not the applicant has been approved for the Waitlist. 

Step 2 – Waitlist

If the Admissions Committee determines an applicant is a suitable fit for the school program, they are placed on the Waitlist. Applicant will be offered a Letter of Acceptance when an appropriate spot becomes available.

Step 3 – Letter of Acceptance

When an appropriate spot becomes available, parents/guardians will be notified by email. Parents/guardians will have one week to formally accept the offer by signing and returning the Letter of Acceptance, which will be made available in the Finalsite Admissions Checklist.

Enrollment

Enrollment into the school typically begins in mid-late February. If a bursary is requested, the bursary application process is also completed at this point.      

Application Check List

For your ease and convenience, we have created a checklist of items that we require for the School Admission Application. This information must be supplied before we can proceed with your child’s application. If there is any further information you require, please do not hesitate to call. We look forward to hearing from you.

• Psycho-Educational Assessment
  A psycho-educational assessment completed within 2 years of the present application date. The assessment must show that the child has been diagnosed with a Learning Disability (such as Dyslexia). The assessment should include:
  • Recent WISC-V results including the sub-test scores as well as the Full-Scale I.Q., Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial Reasoning, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed composite scores
  • Achievement Assessment Recent standardized testing in math, reading and written expression (particularly spelling). Examples of the types of testing are the WIAT-III and Woodcock Johnson IV Tests of Achievement. Again, subtest scores should be included.
• Support Documents
  Copies of your child's most recent report card(s), IPP(s), cumulative records and all additional information/assessments, which might be useful in determining the type of program required to meet the child’s needs. At some point during the admissions process, it is possible that we will wish to speak to the child’s teacher.
