Grade 1 to 6

Though we would rather greet you on campus, due to the global health crisis, in order to keep everyone safe and healthy, we have decided to bring the school to you.

Be sure to watch our virtual tour, explore our campus map, and register for one of our upcoming information events (to be released in late August) to get a true sense of who we are and what differentiates us, both as a school and as a community.

Please complete the online application. Supporting documents (as indicated on the application) should be uploaded to the form or can be sent by email to our office.

Applications for grades 1-6 are considered in November with the first set of decisions made in December. Following this period, all admission decisions for these grades are made on a rolling basis.
