  Description:

  The Application Process

  1. Attend a Campus Visit
  2. Begin an Inquiry: Complete an inquiry form, and we'll connect you with an application form and user account.
  3. Submit an Application: Complete an application and submit your supporting files, and report cards.
  4. Complete the Online Payment: Submit your application for review by paying the $300 application fee online. This is the final step in the application phase, and must be completed before the application deadline.

  Kindergarten

  1. Parent Interview: All kindergarten applicants who submit their applications by the deadline will be scheduled for an interview. Please be advised that applications for kindergarten will not be accepted after the application deadline. If you are seeking admission for your child, but missed the deadline, we recommend submitting an application for Grade 1 for the upcoming school year.
  2. Attend a Parent Interview: All prospective kindergarten parents must undergo an interview before attending an assessment at CHA. This allows us to gain insight into each child's abilities and personality, ensuring the best possible fit for our kindergarten program and alignment with our philosophies.
  3. Attend a Kindergarten Assessment: Applicants to the kindergarten program are invited to participate in a group session to gain firsthand experience in a typical classroom setting. This provides an opportunity for children to interact with peers and teachers while familiarizing themselves with the kindergarten environment.

  Applicants who are not offered admission will be placed on a waitlist for cancellations and considered for Grade 1 for the following academic year.

  Grades 1 to 12

  Applicants to grades 1-12 are assessed before an interview. Not all applicants receive a Candidate Offer and proceed to the interview stage. The process ensures a suitable match for our program.

  1. Student Entrance Exam: All applicants who submit their application before the deadline are invited to attend the group assessment session at a CHA campus. Entrance exams are written and/or visual exams and take place in a classroom setting. Applications received after the deadline are assessed on an as-needed basis, rolling every 2 weeks until all classes are filled.
  2. Candidates are Interviewed: Students who have demonstrated a high academic understanding on their entrance exam will be placed on a candidate short-list and are invited to attend a candidate interview. Candidates have 10 days to book their interview before we move to another applicant. Applicants who do not receive a candidate status are placed on a waitlist for consideration for the following academic year.
  3. Senior Student Interview: Following the candidate interview, applicants who have applied to grades 10-12 and have demonstrated a high academic understanding on their entrance exam will be invited to attend 1/2 day at CHA.
