Students will be considered for admission based on previous academic records, the evaluation form completed by the current school, a personal interview with the principal, and a personal conversation with their current school's principal (should it be deemed necessary). The following is a brief description of a typical student who would most likely be able to succeed in our program.

The successful applicant will have maintained an overall average of 65% with no failing grades. Furthermore, applicants to grade 8 and 9 will have a minimum final grade of 70% in mathematics, English and French. For grades 10 to 12, the French requirement applies only to those planning to continue its study. Applicants who fail to meet one or more of these requirements may be required to complete a summer remedial program before being admitted.

The Yorkland School strives to maintain high standards in its academic programs. All courses are offered at the advanced level. Students must therefore be prepared to set similar standards for their own work. The school reserves the right to require applicants to take a standardized test if there is any question as to the student's ability to do advanced level work.

Attitudes

They must also accept and maintain a positive attitude toward the Christian nature of our school environment and standards.

Family Discounts

Tuition fees are set annually and structured to provide for the operating needs of the school. As a family-oriented school, it is our desire to keep our rates as reasonable as possible to make our program affordable to most families. For that reason there are generous discounts when more than one child from a family is enrolled.

Admissions

Admission is based on the availability of space, a personal interview, analysis of the previous report card, an admissions test (if necessary), written indication by parents of support for our program and a verbal indication of interest by the student. When the application has been approved and the registration fee and capital deposit have been received, a letter of acceptance will be issued to reserve a place in the class. You may contact us for a copy of the application form, or you may visit our download page for a copy of the form online.

Language Proficiency

Students whose ability to study in English is limited will be required to take a language proficiency test. The school reserves the right to require students who score poorly to take additional ESL instruction as a condition of acceptance. Click here for more information on the ESL program.
