The Application Process

Step 1: Submit an Application

All applicants are required to submit the following:

• A completed Application Form.
• School reports: previous & current academic year
• Principal’s Recommendation (completed by a principal of the student’s current school)
• A photocopy of the applicant's Birth Certificate & citizenship documentation.
• A photocopy of the applicant’s Baptismal certificate (if applicable)
• A passport-size photograph of the applicant.
• A $50.00 CDN non-refundable application fee.

Please send the completed application form and all supporting documentation to:

St. Andrew's Regional High School
880 McKenzie Avenue
Victoria, BC  V8X 3G5
Canada

Step 2: Interview with School Administration and Campus Tour

After the Application Form, required supporting documentation, and application fee have been submitted, the parents and/or guardians of the applicant are asked to contact our school office to arrange the next step in the admissions process, the interview with school administration. Following this interview with the Principal or Vice Principal, a tour of the campus to view our facilities and classes may be organized if requested and time allows. Placement Testing may also be required at all grade levels.

Step 3: Acceptance

Following the interview, and review of supporting documentation and assessments, applicants who are serious in their interest in St. Andrew’s are given consideration for admission. It is the school's policy to advise prospective families of admission acceptance as soon as possible. Notification of acceptance is sent via letter. The School regrets that it may be unable to accommodate all of those who qualify for admission particularly in circumstances where the number of applicants exceeds the places available.

Non-Acceptance

When it is clear St. Andrew's is not the right fit for the student, or will have difficulty being admitted because of limited space, prospective parents are immediately advised. These difficult decisions are made with careful consideration and with the best interest of the student in mind. If an applicant is not granted a place due to availability of space, the student will be automatically wait-listed and may be reconsidered in light of unexpected enrolment changes in the late spring and summer.

Step 4: Deposit Cheque

Upon acceptance, a non-refundable deposit of the first month's tuition is required for families new to Island Catholic Schools. One month’s notice is required if a child is withdrawn from the school. If this notice is not received, an additional month's tuition will be charged.
