Metropolitan Preparatory Academy ADMISSIONS

Private schools in Canada have admissions policies, and they require application materials. These may include letters of application, application fees, essays, and tests (such as the SSAT). Many schools also require interviews with prospective students. Schools also use different criteria for evaluating student applications, have different acceptance rates, and target different kinds of students.

What insiders say about the Admissions

The review process showed that they were more interested in learning about our children as individuals, rather than wanting to see whether they fit into a mold that they predetermined was necessary to attend that school. And that was very important for us, that the individual and what they had to bring was the focus, and not whether they fit the mold for that particular school. The school values a kind of education that is for the individual, not having to fit in a particular mold.

I'd recommend that if you're looking for a new school for your child, then go speak to one of the faculty members at Metro Prep, or speak to a family member of a student who has attended Metro Prep. I would not do anything differently. I'm very happy that my daughter attended Metro Prep and I would recommend that if you're looking for a new school, then make an appointment, speak to Principal Mckelvey, speak to a guidance counselor, go to an open house of Metro Prep and see for yourself. It'll be the right choice.

—Mishma Gashyna, parent (see full interview)

My son had previously gone to a Montessori school, with a focus on hands-on learning, communication skills, and teamwork. And we're looking for a middle school, high school that can continue him down the same path. We visited quite a few schools looking for small class sizes, a close-knit community of teachers, students, and staff, and above all, academic excellence. Metro Prep fits the bill.

—Wei Su, parent (see full interview)

It is hard for me to talk about my experience within the application process because I don’t recall a lot from it. My dad went to the school in the eighties and because he didn’t feel my brother reaching his fullest potential at his previous school, he called the principal and asked if there was a possibility for my brother to attend. The principal remembered exactly who my dad was and was so excited at the thought of his kid attending the school as well. My brother went to the school a year before me and absolutely loved it. He convinced me to come for a tour and meet all his teachers and friends. During my tour I met many of the teachers and sat down and talked with the principal. I knew then and there that this was where I wanted to spend the rest of my secondary education.
