 We are always keen to meet bright and capable students at any time of the year. However, please note we will only review late applications for second round consideration when we have confirmed attrition and after reviewing our pre-qualified candidates in the wait pool. 

We do not accept students after the start of the school year in September. 

We enrol 1256 students from Jr. Kindergarten through Grade 12. Our Wentworth Junior School Campus (JK - Gr 7) is home to 656 students; our Morven Senior School Campus (Gr 8-12) is home to 600 students.

Please refer to the 'Year Over Year Intake' tab above to find this information.

Space in this program is limited and attrition dependant. Please note that priority is given to currently enrolled students.

Collingwood School welcomes applications from all families regardless of where they currently reside; however, preference is given to Canadian residents. Collingwood is a day school only; unfortunately, we do not offer boarding or homestay and all of our students must live in the local area with one or both of their parents. Please note, we do not offer ESL or ELL programs. International applicants must be able to provide proof of their valid Canadian immigration documents for both the applicant and parent(s) at the time of enrolment.

International and/or out-of-town applicants to Grades 4-11 who are unable to join us for an in-house Entry Assessment, please visit the SSAT site to register your child for this assessment. Please ensure you designate Collingwood School as a recipient of your official report. 

The SSAT  provides us with a glimpse of a student’s academic areas on one day, in one sitting – in math, writing, reading, vocabulary, etc. This information is then reviewed in conjunction with their report cards and their historical academic performance. There is no minimum score expected as it is an admissions test and not an academic assessment.

Students in Grade 8 -11 are strongly encouraged to take a look at the ‘What’s on the Test?’ section on the SSAT website and to spend time reviewing the structure and content of the test to assist in their preparations.

For instructions on how to share your official SSAT score report with us use this link.

At Collingwood School we work directly with applicant families. We are happy to work with educational consultants in conjunction with applicant families, but we do not engage in any financial or contractual agreements.
