What is the admissions process for Metropolitan Preparatory Academy in Canada?  What links should be paid attention to?

       Review of supporting documentation

　　Student testing for grades 7 to 9 (if required)

　　Admissions decision

　　Submission of registration forms if accepting an offer of admission

　　Possible end-of-year mathematics assessment

　　1. INTERVIEW

　　Unlike many private schools, the initial step of our process is a meeting with the applicant and his/her parents to determine the suitability of the school. The meeting is cooperative in nature. It explores your child’s academic goals, personality, and compatibility with Metro Prep.

　　The application process can be lengthy, so applying early is strongly recommended. There is no application fee for Canadian students.

　　2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

　　Please bring photocopies of the following with you to the interview:

　　Most recent report card

　　Final report cards for the last two academic years (two sets of June reports)

　　Any available educational/psychological assessments (completed within past two years)

　　3. TESTING

　　If, after the interview, it appears that your child may be a prospective Metro Prep student, the process moves forward:

　　Grades 7-9: Students are required to complete our entrance examination (optional for students who have completed the SSAT). This 2.5 hour test is designed to identify the child’s abilities in mathematics, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension (the test is diagnostic in purpose – your child will never be reduced to a score at Metro Prep).

　　A $250 test administration fee is only charged for students who write the test.

　　Grades 10, 11 & 12: Students are admitted based on submission of current academic records.

　　4. ADMISSIONS DECISION

　　Once testing, if applicable, is completed and all supporting documentation has been received and carefully reviewed, your child may be offered admission. To accept the offer and secure your child’s placement, submit completed registration forms.

　　END-OF-YEAR MATHEMATICS ASSESSMENT

　　If there is a concern about math skills, a student may need to write an exam in June based on his/her current year’s curriculum. This enables us to determine which math class is most beneficial in the fall. Because we are a semestered school, if a child is required to repeat a course (in any subject area), he/she still has the opportunity to get caught up in the second semester.

　　Interview Checklist

　　Please ensure you have the following with you for the interview:
