All communications will be sent via the email address provided in the online process. Please check your email regularly, including junk mail and spam folders. 

Important Dates

Application process opens: November 3, 2025 in the morning

Deadline for applications is: November 28, 2025 at 4:00 p.m.

Note: Applications received after the deadline will be marked late. There is no guarantee of admission for late applicants.

Application Information

Please note the following:

• An application must be submitted for each child, including twins/triplets/multiples. There will be an opportunity on the application to indicate if there is a sibling at the same school in the same French Immersion program (not in a graduating year). 
• Offers of placement will begin in January and be ongoing in the weeks and months following. Please check your email regularly, including junk mail and spam folders, and follow all instructions. You must take action to reserve a seat by the deadline.
• While every effort will be made to seat students in the school identified as their area French Immersion school, this is not always possible. In cases where the number of applications in a given area is greater than the number of allotted program spaces in the school, students may be redirected to schools with available program space.
• Placements are made based on the child's primary home address of record in PowerSchool prior to the application deadline. If the address changes between the application deadline and the fall of the entry year, there is no guarantee of admission in the new area.
• Late applicants will be held on a waitlist and considered subject to available space until the end of September of the entry year (i.e., Junior Kindergarten). There are no waitlists in non-entry years.
