Bookpoint Springs Academy begins accepting applications for the following school year directly after Mid Term of every third term. Completed admission applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and notifications will be made on a continuous, space available basis.

What takes place during my child’s visit?

Pre- School and Kindergarten applicants participate in an observed playgroup with similar aged children. Students applying to grade 1 through 3 participate in a one-onone interview with an Admissions representative.

When will I be notified about admission decisions?

The Admissions Committee of Bookpoint Springs Academy issues admissions decisions on a continuous basis in accordance with our admissions preference policy. Families who apply through our regular registration program can typically anticipate a decision from the school within one week of their application’s completion date.

After December 15th, am I still eligible for early registration?

Yes, 20th. December is the earliest date we will notify Early Applications of our admissions decisions. This date will primarily be for classes that do not require written tests (early childhood). For other families who have chosen Early Registration, we will make admission decisions as soon as the file is complete rather than waiting for the January timeframe.

What if I change my mind and decide my child won’t attend Bookpoint Springs Academy?

Early Registration is not a binding decision. You are free to accept or decline the offer at your own will.

If I wait for regular admissions decision timeframe, how will this impact my chances?

We expect to have less spots available to award given the high interest in the school this year. Early Registration is the best way for qualified families to secure placement at Bookpoint Springs Academy.

What are the additional fees not included in tuition?

• Text Books & Stationeries
