My Child is in Grade 3 or Younger - How to Apply

    • You can submit a  Expression of Interest anytime after your child is born and up to the end of their grade 9 year. 
    • When your child begins Grade 3, you’ll receive a courtesy email inviting you to apply for the Grade 4 Lottery. 
    • The Lottery is open from January 1 to January 10 of your child’s Grade 3 year.
        • To be considered for a potential Grade 4 placement, you must submit a formal Lottery Application during this time.
    • If your child is currently in Grade 3 and you missed the lottery application, you may submit the Expression of Interest below which will place the child on the Grade 4 waitlist. This waitlist automatically rolls over to the next school year, so you don’t need to reapply to stay on it.
