Language AssessmentStudents will be required to take an English language level assessment to ensure their suitability for the HGS program.

Health InsuranceStudents must have health insurance. Parents must obtain health insurance that will cover the student while in Canada. Proof of this insurance is required.

TOEFL ScoresEnglish Proficiency, corresponding to a TOEFL 540 paper score or 207 computer score must be met in order for students to be accepted into the Senior School IB programme. Students with a score of 520/190 or equivalent will be considered. If the school deems necessary, admission may be granted provided the family bears the cost of outside English tutoring and curricular support.

NotesThe Government of Canada Department of Immigration will require proof of financial responsibility. Full fees for the entire school year are due and payable immediately upon acceptance of the student by the school. Upon payment of the full fees, the school will issue a Letter of Acceptance to the student. This letter can be used by the student to obtain a student Visa issued by the Canadian Department of Immigration.

Once the student has been accepted, the above fees can be transferred directly to the Halifax Grammar School’s bank account. All wires will go through the Royal Bank in Toronto, then to HGS in Halifax. Parents are responsible for all bank fees.
