Admissions Process

Our admission process helps applicants and their parents become more familiar with Bayview Glen, its programmes and our educational philosophy. Admissions decisions consider a philosophical fit between home and school, an applicant’s academic potential and availability. You begin by submitting a detailed online application form. Then students will visit the school to experience life in class, or participate in an interview, and will complete our entrance assessment. Once the admissions process is complete, and availability is known, families are notified in February regarding their application status. Often the number of applicants exceeds availability.
