Senior School Admissions

List of 4 items.

• Step 1: Get the Ball Rolling

  Help us get to know your daughter and family better by filling out our Intake Form. From here, we will get in touch with you to answer all your initial questions and set you up with your online application login and password.

• Step 2: Apply Online

  We work on a rolling system and welcome applications at any time during the year but we highly recommend starting the process early. Should you have any questions or concerns as you work through the application, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Admissions Officer.
  
  

  Application Deadlines for 2021-2022 School Year

  Kindergarten: Monday, November 15, 2021
  Grades 1-5: Monday, November 1, 2021
  Grades 6, 8-11: Monday, November 1, 2021

  In addition, for your daughter to apply to ECS, we ask that all students and their families provide the following documents:
  

  • A certified copy of a translated birth certificate
  • QAIS Teacher Confidential Forms or/ou Rapport scolaire confidentiel 
  • A copy of the student’s most recent report card
  • Payment of the $50 application fee in Canadian funds (cash, cheque or online)

• Step 3: Participate in the Evaluation Process

  For entrance to Grades 9 through 11
  
  

  Normally, we would invite your daughter to "Spend A Day At ECS". In addition to meeting one-on-one with Admissions Committee members, including the Senior Academic Lead and spending time with current students and faculty, she would write the Canadian Cognitive Achievement Test (CCAT). There would also be an opportunity for your family to meet with the Head of School to learn more about our culture and community.
  
  Due to COVID-19, our process has changed. We will create a portrait of each applicant through report cards, teacher confidential forms, personal interviews (child and family), and virtual Spend-A-Day meetings with ECS student buddies. Unfortunately, we will not be hosting in-person events. Contact us for more information.
  

• Step 4: Wait for a Decision

  The Admissions Committee meets and a decision is usually made within two weeks of the applicant's evaluation.
