Admission Requirements

Admissions Policy

Maple Leaf International School admits students of any nationality who have the ability to successfully complete the Ontario Curriculum. Our program has been designed to meet the needs of students who fall within a normal range of abilities. Maple Leaf cannot admit students who have learning or behavioural difficulties or challenges beyond the scope of existing services or programming. Previous school records and any assessments must be provided to the school prior to consideration for entry to the school.

Assessment for Admission

The process used in screening includes an interview with the parents/child, reading, writing and mathematic tasks, a review of past school reports and other assessments as required.

The child is assessed:

• to evaluate the student’s academic skill level for success in the Ontario Curriculum.
  
  
• to evaluate the student’s likelihood of successful integration both socially and behaviourally in the program.
  
  
• to assist parents and students in their adjustment to Maple Leaf International School.
