Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Step 1 Discover LFT. Open House events are held in October and November to help you discover the school, meet teachers, and interact with students. If you cannot attend, the Admissions Manager can schedule individual visits at any time of the year. Mid-year enrollment is accepted based on available spaces. Priority for spaces in PreK goes to children who are 2 years and 6 months old at the start of the school year (September). Eligibility for non-French-speaking students: Non-French-speaking students may enroll in Kindergarten (TPS/PS, MS, Grande Section); for CP/Grade 1 and above, French proficiency is required. Step 2 Online application. Families apply online via the admissions portal. A submission is complete when forms are filled, the birth certificate (PDF) is uploaded, the most recent report cards (for SKGrade 12) are uploaded, and the non-refundable $300 application fee is paid. Step 3 Admissions Test. After submission, the Admissions Committee reviews the application. For students from a school accredited by the French Ministry of Education, no admissions test is required; decisions are based on the most recent report cards. If the child attends a different school, they will be invited to participate in a meet-and-greet (for Kindergarten entry) or an admissions test (for Grades 1). The meet-and-greet lasts about 30 minutes and is conducted in the childs preferred language (French or English). For Pre-K, the child must be fully potty trained by the first day of school. Step 4 Admissions Decision and Enrollment. Admissions decisions for the next school year are communicated in mid-February. The enrollment process is complete when one parent signs the contract online and the $6,500 enrollment fee is paid. In early July, families receive a detailed communication to help prepare for the first day, including information on extracurricular activities, bus services, hot meals, Pizza Wednesdays, and how to purchase sports uniforms and school supplies. Step 5 Preparing for the First Day. During the summer, information is sent about books and school supplies, hot lunch and Pizza Wednesdays, bus registration, after-school care, study hall, and extracurricular activities registration. 20262627 Admission Calendar highlights: December 15, 2025 application deadline; Open House on October 18, 2025; Tests/Meet & Greet dates: November 6 (Grades 1) and November 25 (PreK); January 10, 2026; Mid-February 2026 for admissions decisions.
