Application Checklist

• A completed online application
• A photo of the applicant
• A completed student questionnaire
• A confidential report form (where schools comply)
• Copies of report cards from grades 9 and above
• Applicants born in Canada. A clear copy of the long form version of the student's birth certificate which can be uploaded to the online application. Both parents’ names must appear.
• Applicants born outside of Canada: A clear copy of the student's birth certificate which can be uploaded to the online application. Note that if the birth certificate is not in English or French, a notarized official translation of the document is required. Both parents’ names must appear. Also include proof of student's or parent's Canadian citizenship. If the applicant or neither parent possesses Canadian citizenship, Canadian immigration documents must be provided.
• A non-refundable processing and evaluation fee of $50, payable by cheque, online banking (contact the admissions office for details), money order to Lower Canada College, or by wire transfer (from a financial institution outside Canada only).

Note: Students with a psycho-educational assessment are asked to include this information as part of the application. Full reports are required along with the most recent Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students are also asked to disclose if they are scheduled to have an assessment for the first time.

Helping students reach their full potential is part of our mission. That’s why we have a learning support program, called LEAD (Learning Enrichment And Development), which provides indirect support to students at the Pre-U level (note that the program and support services offered vary depending on the student’s grade level and needs).

Applicants who have had a psychoeducational or psychological assessment, a speech and language assessment, individual education plan (IEP), or other similar evaluations, must include the most recent reports with their application. An up-to-date report is required as part of the admissions application (i.e., three years for students applying to grades 3-9, and four years for students applying to grades 10-Pre-U). Note that all IEPs must be accompanied by the assessment.

As part of the school-parent partnership, we believe that full transparency and an honest and open relationship is what works in the best interest of the child. Failure to disclose during the admissions process that the applicant is currently receiving or has received remedial support or accommodations, or has had an assessment, could result in a termination of the educational contract. Parents are also asked to disclose if the applicant is scheduled to have an assessment completed for the first time

No entrance test is required.

Students who apply from outside the province of Québec, may have additional application requirements.

Information about the application deadlines for 2024-2025 will be communicated soon.

  • TOEFL: 90 for iBT TOEFL, 500 for paper-based TOEFL
  • IELTS: 6-6.5
  • CAEL: 70
• Provide immigration documents 
• Provide a certified translation of report cards
• Provide the Admissions Office with additional information about curriculum in their current school (as needed)
