Nancy Campbell Academy ADMISSIONS

What NCA says about their admissions requirements:

Admission Requirements

Student admission is based on a three part process.

1. Assessment of documents that include transcripts or report cards, I.E.P. (if applicable), psychological assessments (if applicable), the student’s letter of intent (stating why they might like to attend Nancy Campbell Academy and what they might contribute to our student body), certificates and proof of accomplishments and letters of reference. 

2. Interview between student and vice principal or head of school. Approximately 30 minutes (can be done in person, by telephone or on Zoom). This is not a pass or fail situation - it is set up to get to know the student and to see how we can best meet the student’s needs and determine if it is a good school-student match. Students willing to learn is paramount. 

3. The information gleaned about the student from parents or agents and any other professionals involved in the student’s life (health professionals, psychologists, etc.).

Students that are accepted receive an acceptance letter and students that are not accepted receive a denial letter with steps outlining what they could do better to reapply in the future.

Admission Process

Step 1: Complete the application and return it to the school with a copy of the applicant’s most

recent transcript or report cards from the previous school (previous 2 years) and a photocopy of

passport (photo page only) and immunization record.

Step 2: Documents are reviewed and the interview is scheduled for the student.

Step 3: An Invoice for the deposit is issued to the student with instructions on how to pay.

Step 4: Applicant is interviewed by the Principal or Vice-Principal (personal, telephone or skype).

Step 5: A Letter Of Invitation is issued to the successful candidate with the final invoice.

Unsuccessful candidates will receive a letter outlining the reasons and the deposit will be refunded.    

Step 6: Upon acceptance of the invitation and receipt of the payment in full, a Letter of Acceptance, Custodianship, and an account

statement is e-mailed to the International students. The Letter of Acceptance and Custodianship

Permit and Visa; School records of the previous study; Immunization Record.

*If documents are not in English, they must have an official notarized translation.
