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.
Academics
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.
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.
