We recommend starting 12 to 18 months before your target entry date. This allows ample time to strengthen academics, build extracurricular profiles, and prepare application materials without last-minute pressure.
Requirements vary by school. Please contact us to receive a detailed admissions checklist for your target schools. In most cases, schools require standardized tests such as the SSAT or their own entrance exams. Some also conduct group assessments to evaluate how applicants conduct themselves in a group setting, and students in certain grades may be required to interview with admissions officers. Typical application materials include past report cards, standardized test scores, application essays, recommendation letters, or teacher evaluation forms.
There is no one benchmark score. Since private schools use a holistic review process, SSAT results are important, but application materials and assessment performance are equally critical. We recommend booking a free initial evaluation and consultation with us so we can provide tailored advice for your family.
We have compiled a list of private schools in Greater Vancouver showing entry grades and available spots. Please contact us for details. Even in non-entry years, schools may still accept applications depending on available space.
