The Admission Five-Step Process

Step 1: Tour the School

Call Robyn Buchman, Director of Admission at 905-709-3636 ext 224 or email rbuchman@leobaeck.ca to make an appointment to tour the school.

Step 2: Submit Application

Complete the admission application form and send it with the $500 application deposit and a copy of your child’s birth certificate and immunization record to the Admission Office.

Step 3: Interview

A meeting is provided for all those who submit an application, regardless of grade level. Parents will be contacted to arrange an individual appointment with the Director of Admission. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each family more personally.

Step 4: Assessment

Our in-house assessments will consist of grade appropriate activities.

Kindergarten

Informal playgroups are held in the Kindergarten classrooms. Children enjoy a story, some play time and an activity.

Grade 1

Grade 1 assessments are held individually. We will conduct an informal assessment in math and language, observe indicators of social/emotional development and attention and listening skills.

Grade 2 - Grade 8

All children undergo an assessment by Jewish Vocational Service. This is a psycho-educational screening which provides us with pertinent information to ensure we are able to accommodate and meet the academic and social/emotional needs of every student.

In addition, children also need to undergo a Hebrew Assessment with the Hebrew Coordinator in order to assess Hebrew language level

Step 5: Notification

Acceptance letters are sent out in October of the year prior to entry. A second deposit of $500 will be required to hold your child's place.  Along with the initial deposit of $500, the second deposit will be applied to the tuition fees for the academic school year your child is enrolled in.  

Our waiting list remains in effect until September 1st, immediately prior to school opening. All deposits are fully refundable if we cannot accommodate you by September 1st.
