Application Process

All JK & SK applicants will attend a ‘JK & SK Days’ session at Montcrest. Applicants will take part in a short morning session in the JK or SK classroom and outdoor learning area. Applicants will work with the JK or SK teachers, and engage in carefully crafted play-based activities, designed to show school readiness. During the session, parents are invited to enjoy coffee and a short presentation about getting the best start to early years education at Montcrest School.

All JK & SK sessions are held from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.

Applicants will attend a morning visit (8:45 – 11:30 a.m.) with the Senior Kindergarten class. This provides prospective students with the opportunity to interact with students and staff and take part in our broad and balanced curriculum. During a visit, we work with students to explore their level of proficiency in literacy and numeracy.

Applicants visit the classroom for a full day (8:45 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.) This provides prospective students with the unique opportunity to experience a day in the life of Montcrest and to interact with students and staff. Teachers work closely with visiting students to learn more about their level of proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics.
