  • 6. ADMISSION DECISIONS

    All completed applications are carefully considered by the Admission Committee in relation to grade level applicants and the number of available grade level spaces.

    Report cards, admission testing, teacher recommendations, and the school visit will all be considered during review, with the most important being the academic fit between the student and the school.

    Applications completed by the January 22 Priority Consideration Deadline will be reviewed by the Admission Committee and decisions released in mid-February.
