Junior and Senior Primary
Assessments for Junior and Senior Primary begin in November each year.
Our Junior Primary students must be four years old by December 31st in the year they enrol. Senior Primary students must be five years old by December 31st in the year they enrol.
Grade One to Grade Four
Applicants from Grade One to Grade Four will be booked for individual assessments with our Prep School Head, Ms. Schindler.
Grade Five to Grade Twelve
Entrance assessments are required for each student entering Grammar from Junior Primary to Grade Twelve. Assessments can be administered on-site or couriered to a qualified teacher if the student lives at a distance such that travel to the school would be inconvenient.
Applicants will be scheduled for individual entrance assessments, scheduled at their convenience, through the Admissions Office. Contact Admissions Assistant, Faith-Anne Kyle, at 902-406-3001 or by email at
