Application Process
PLEASE NOTE:
Before applying to any grade please contact Alison Black at [email protected].
***
The first step in our admissions process is to have a phone call or email correspondence with our Admissions Coordinator.
After your phone call or email with our Admissions Coordinator, it’s time to fill out a Prospective Student Application. Depending on the age/grade of your child, choose the appropriate application:
Once the Application is filled out, refer back to the checklist on Page 3 to ensure that all necessary documents are attached, including the $100 non-refundable application fee. Application fees may be paid by cheque or by e-transfer. Applications may be mailed to New Heights School or emailed to [email protected].
Once an application is submitted, complete with the $100 application fee and required documentation, New Heights will contact you for the next step in the application process. For example, we may request to be connected with your child’s current or former teachers or therapists for a reference.
If New Heights is determined to be an appropriate program to address your child’s needs and strengths, and there is availability in the suitable classroom, you will be notified by letter of your child’s acceptance, and will receive the necessary information to enroll your child.
Please note: New Heights may request a trial period before confirming enrollment.
Waitlist
If there is not space in the suitable classroom for a potential student, they will be placed on our waitlist for possible openings during the current year, or for registration in the following school year.
If space in a classroom becomes available, we consider the specific needs of both the prospective student, and the students currently in the class. The goal is to ensure that we are able to provide an ideal learning environment for the prospective student and the existing class. Therefore, placement cannot always be defined as “first come, first served”. Placement is dependent upon the suitability of the position for a specific student.
