Application Process

Please note: All our classes are full for the 2025/2026 school year at this time. 

***

The first step in our admissions process is to fill out an Expression of Interest form that will be available here mid-December.  The purpose of this form is for us to gain understanding about your child and to get a sense of their suitability for our program. 

Once your form has been submitted:

• Our Admissions Coordinator will contact you within 2 weeks. Please note, we only offer tours to families whose student has been identified as being a possible fit for an available space. 

Once the application package is filled out:

• Applications may be mailed, dropped off to New Heights School or emailed to [email protected].
• Refer back to the checklist on Page 3 to ensure that all necessary documents are attached, including the $100 non-refundable application fee.
• Application fees may be paid by cheque or by e-transfer to [email protected] (please include your child’s name in notes). 

Once an application is submitted:

• New Heights will contact you for the next step in the application process. For example, we may request to be connected with your child’s current/former teachers or therapists for a reference.
• If New Heights is determined to be an appropriate program to address your child’s needs and strengths, and there is availability in the suitable classroom, you will be notified by email of your child’s acceptance, and will receive the necessary information to enroll your child.
• Please note: New Heights may request a trial period before confirming enrollment.

Waitlist

If there is not space in the suitable classroom for a potential student, they will be placed on our waitlist for possible openings during the current year, or for registration in the following school year.

If space in a classroom becomes available, we consider the specific needs of both the prospective student, and the students currently in the class. The goal is to ensure that we are able to provide an ideal learning environment for the prospective student and the existing class. Therefore, placement cannot always be defined as “first come, first served”. Placement is dependent upon the suitability of the position for a specific student.
