Applying to Senior Kindergarten

List of 7 items.

• Step 1 – Explore UCC

  Before you start an application, we encourage you to learn more about our programs and plan a visit to get a feel for school life. Start your exploration now.

• Step 2 – Login to or Create your UCC Application Account

  To start your application for 2019 entry, you must first login to or create your UCC application account. If you did not apply last year or this is your first time applying, you will need to create an account. Please ensure that when you create the account, you use the candidate’s legal name as it appears on his birth certificate or passport.
  
  If the system recognizes your email address during account creation, your email address will be highlighted in red after you press "Submit". If this occurs, or you created an account previously and do not remember the account information, click on "Forgot Login?" You will then be prompted to enter your email address and request both your username and password. After submitting this request, please check your email inbox for two emails containing your username and instructions for logging in. Creation of more than one account per family may lead to a delay in the processing of applications and/or documents.
  
  Only the candidate's parents are legally authorized to create an account and submit an application. Agents wishing to submit an application on behalf of a parent should contact the Office of Admission at 416-488-1125 ext. 4123 (SK-Year 6) or ext. 2221 (Year 7-11) for special instructions.

• Step 3 – Submit an Application Form and Pay the Application Fee

  Once you’ve logged in or created an account, click on the application form button to start filling out the form. You can save your work and return to complete and submit it at any time -- please allow 30 minutes to an hour in total to complete the form. Please ensure that all form fields are complete before submitting as the application information cannot be edited once submitted. Please allow two days for processing the application form and payment.
  
  The deadline to apply is November 30, 2018. The application fee schedule is as follows:

  • $150 until Nov. 1, 2018
  • $200 Nov. 2-Nov. 30, 2018

• Step 4 – Submit Birth Verification and Final Report Cards

  Once your form has been processed, you can log back in to upload PDF copies of the following documents:

  • Final (June) 2016-2017 school reports (if available)
  • Final (June) 2017-2018 school reports
  • Birth certificate OR passport (boy’s name must appear in English)

  Applicants are required to submit these documents by November 30, 2018.

• Step 5 – Submit a Current Report Card & Previous Educational Assessment (if required)

  Current Report: All applicants will also need to submit a current school report as soon as it becomes available and no later than February 10, 2019.
  
  Previous Educational Assessment: If you answered "Yes" on your application form to the question "Has your son ever had an educational assessment completed by a professional?" regarding educational support, please upload a PDF copy of the psychological assessment.

  
  Please do not submit any additional documents unless requested.

• Step 6 – Await Your Family Visit and Assessment

  It may seem like an eternity to wait, but we don’t reach out to our SK applicant families to schedule family visits until late-February. We do this mainly to allow applicants as much development time as possible so they have the best chance of demonstrating kindergarten readiness when they visit.
  
  Family visits take place during the week of March 25 – 29, 2019. The family visit is typically 30 minutes long. It gives us insight into the applicant and family’s personalities, interests and values through conversation with the boy and his parents together. It’s also an opportunity for parents to gain a deeper insight into who we are and what we do at UCC.
  
  We then invite applicants back for an assessment on March 30, 2019. The assessment is one hour and surveys development in the following areas: number concepts, auditory skills, paper-and-pencil skills and free-play. This is where we observe your son in a group setting with his peers and evaluate his social skills. We will contact you in early-March regarding your son’s assessment time.

• Step 7 – Receive your Decision

  Admission decisions for our Senior Kindergarten applicants will be sent on April 2, 2019.
