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.
1. Apply. Complete and submit the online application form. A $300 one-time, non-refundable application fee is required and paid online with a credit card. Once you have access to the online applicant checklist, book the parent interview. Upload all required supplementary materials, including birth certificate, recent report cards, confidential reference form, and for Grades 6–11 the SSAT and the Character Skills Snapshot. 2. Assessment. The school uses multiple methods to assess students. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, follow the assessment instructions and, if shortlisted, attend an in-person assessment with teachers. For Grades 2–5, assessments are scheduled as space becomes available. For Grades 6–11, the evaluation includes SSAT results, the student statement, a group assessment, and an individual teacher interview. 3. Enrollment. Successful candidates receive a letter of acceptance and a registration package, or are placed in a wait pool. New Student Registration fees must be paid upon acceptance to hold space, and registration must be completed by the deadline determined by the School. All relevant documents and payments are collected at the Welcome Meeting. The application deadline for the 2026-27 School Year has now passed; late applications may be considered only if space becomes available.
A wait pool exists for applicants who are not immediately offered space. Candidates may be placed in the wait pool and space will be offered if openings arise; enrollment from the wait pool occurs when spaces become available and after an offer is made.
Stratford Hall offers financial assistance (tuition support) based on demonstrated financial need. Applications are processed through Apple Financial Services, with a $130 application fee and required supporting documents. Applications begin in October and the online deadline is November 30. Financial assistance decisions are separate from admission decisions; all candidates for admission must apply and be accepted before assistance can be offered, and finalization occurs after enrollment is accepted. Applicants will be notified of eligibility by early 2026. For assistance, admissions@stratfordhall.ca.
