Out of Area Admissions

You may apply to one regular school beyond your home school (determined by your residential address) through the Out-of-Area Admissions process.

Your circle of care and teachers can help you determine if your choice is in line with the educational plans that you have been working towards.

The Online Out-of-Area Admissions application will be available on Monday, January 8, 2024 (the first Monday after the Winter Break). Applications must be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. Friday, January 26, 2024.

If you choose to apply for Out-of-Area Admissions you should know:

• You will be responsible for your own transportation.
• You may only apply to one school (regular programs, French Immersion programs and Extended French programs).
• Waiting lists expire at the end of the Out-of-Area Admissions
• You may not apply to a school that is not permitted to receive applications (i.e. closed schools). A list of those schools is produced in November
• A school/program that receives more applications than it has space will use the admissions priorities and run a random selection process for each admission priority to determine the successful applicants.
