How to Apply

The application process is easy. Our admissions team is here to support you during each step of this process! 

Step 1 – Tour

Interested families are encouraged to meet our team or visit our campus. Tours are available online or in-person!
 

Please note, no tours are available in July and August. 

Step 2 – Apply Online

Please complete an online Student Application form and submit your non-refundable $250CAD application fee. Please be prepared to provide any supporting documents in English that may be requested, i.e. report cards, diagnostic testing, occupational therapy reports, etc.

Step 3 – Student Visit

Westmont does require that all students have a mandatory visit so that teachers can get to know your child. This visit is a half day for Early Primary and two days for Elementary/Middle School.

If you are currently out of Canada, an “online classroom visit” can possibly be arranged upon request.

Step 4 – Enrolment

Successful enrolment depends upon available spaces, suitability for the program, and the ability to meet any special learning needs a student may have.

As a small, community-minded society, we embrace all students and endeavour to provide them with the individualized learning experience they deserve. As our school has grown in past years, so has the diversity of our students’ needs. We have reached our maximum capacity for inclusion support staff, and we can not accept applications from students in any of our programs with diverse neurological, physical, or socio-emotional needs until the 2025-2026 school year.
