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. To improve your child’s chances of acceptance, find out everything you can about a school’s admissions policies and how they assess applicants.

What Queen Ethelburga's says about their admissions requirements:
The application form is completed and submitted along with two years of reports from the child's existing school. In addition, we require a copy of the child's passport and birth certificate. Upon receipt of this, the admissions team will send through a code to access the admissions test. Depending upon the school reports and the outcome of the admissions test, the admissions team will then make a decision as to whether a place can be offered to the child.

What type of student Queen Ethelburga's is looking for:
Although academic standards at Queen Ethelburga’s are exceptionally high and lead to outstanding results, our flexible curriculum, innovative and dynamic teaching, excellent facilities and professional staff ensure all students have the maximum chance of success in their studies. For us, it is about our pupils striving to be the best that they can with the gifts that they have so we don't have a particular student that we are looking for.
