Admissions Process

1) EXPLORE GIST 

Contact our admissions office at admissions@gistonline.ca to request our digital information package.

2) APPLY

If you decide to enroll your child at GIST, please submit the Application for Admission form via email to admissions@gistonline.ca. Once we receive your application together with the non-refundable application fee of $150 as well as all supporting documents, we will start processing your application.

3) ADMISSIONS REVIEW

Your application will be reviewed by our Principal and the Admissions team. Please allow two to three weeks for processing your application.

4) ARRANGE TRIAL DAY OR IN-PERSON TOUR 

Set up a “Schnuppertag” or an in-person tour of our school and kindergarten.

5) ENROLL

Once the School received the non-refundable registration fee and the application has been approved by our Principal, the Admissions Office will send you the enrolment agreement. Please return the signed agreement as soon as possible to reserve a spot for your child(ren). The enrolment is not official until we have received the signed Enrolment Agreement and the school fees have been paid according to the fee schedule.  

Enrolment Timeline

We have a rolling admissions process with no firm deadline. While the majority of enrolments take place between January and March for the upcoming academic year, we are also able to admit students throughout the year based on availability.

In an effort to keep the highest quality standards and thereby the student-teacher ratio low, places may be limited. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten program tend to fill up quickly. To improve he likelihood that your child will be admitted, we encourage you to submit your application as early as possible. To be placed on the Pre-K and Kindergarten waitlist, please submit the waitlist form and send it to admissions@gistonline.ca.

Admission Requirements  

• Applicants for our Pre-Kindergarten program must turn three years of age by December 31 of the year they will enroll.
