PROGRAMS OF CHOICE - INFORMATION

If you have been accepted into a Program of Choice (French Immersion, Mandarin Bilingual and Montessori) for September, you do not need to apply for cross catchment. Please follow the instructions as mentioned on your school's acceptance letter.

CROSS CATCHMENT APPLICATIONS – FEB 6-11​ 

​​​​Parents sometimes wish for their children to move or transfer to another school that is not their neighbourhood catchment school. All kindergarten students must be registered at their catchment school first, prior to applying for cross catchment. 

If your child will be starting Kindergarten in September and has an older sibling who will still be attending the same elementary school in September (even if it's not your neighbourhood catchment school), you can register directly at the school during Kindergarten Registration. You do not need to fill out a Cross Catchment Application.
