Grade 9 to 11

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 get a true sense of who we are and what differentiates us, both as a school and as a community.

Visit our Info Series page for details.

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 9-11 are considered in the late fall/early winter with the first set of decisions made in January. Following this period, all admission decisions for Senior School are made on a rolling basis.
