Procedures
Enrolment at La Citadelle is contingent upon space availability and all new applicants will be placed in priority sequence based on the date of submission of the completed application package.
New applications for siblings of currently attending La Citadelle students and/or prospective applicants referred by existing La Citadelle Families will be given priority in terms of space availability.
We are pleased to also advise that families interested in the 2026-2027 and/or 2027-2028 academic years, that pre-registration is currently open, and as such they may initiate the application for admission process in order to reserve their child(ren) space(s).
Step 1 – Submission of Application Package
For families applying to for our 2026-2027 and/or 2027-2028 academic year, complete the online Application for Admission Form and upload following documents for each applicant:
- Student Head shot (current photo)
- Proof of Age (birth certificate or passport)
- Immunization Record
- Copy of Health Card
- Three Most Recent Report Cards (two end-of-year report and one mid-year report)
- Transcript – Required for Secondary School students applying to Grades 10 to 12
- English Proficiency – Required for all International students (TOEFL, IELTS or TOEIC)
Additional documents such as referral letters may be requested.
Step 2 – Submission of Questionnaires
Upon submitting the application form you will receive a link to our Parent/Student Questionnaire:
-
Parent Questionnaire, must be completed by a parent or guardian for each applicant. It is an essential part of the admissions process, offering valuable insight into the student’s background, strengths, goals, and the family’s values.
-
Student Questionnaire will also be included for families applying to Grade 3 to Level IV (Grade 12). This form allows students to share, in their own words, their learning experiences, interests, and perspectives, helping us get to know them better as individuals.
Step 3 – Assessments & Interviews
SK to Grade 5
Applicants in SK to Grade 5 are required to attend a one-day in-class visit. This visit allows teachers to observe the student’s learning style, social interaction, and readiness for the grade level.
Grade 6 to Level III (Grade 11)
Applicants for Grades 6 to 11 are required to complete a written morning assessment followed by interviews. These assessments help determine academic readiness and support appropriate placement.
Headmaster’s Scholarship Consideration
Based on the results of the Grade 6 to Level III assessment, the school will also review each student’s performance for eligibility for the Headmaster’s Scholarship.
Candidates who qualify will be notified at the time of admission.
International Applicants
For international families, all visits, assessments, and interviews are conducted virtually, with scheduling adjusted for their time zone.
Admission & Enrolment
Admission Decisions
Following the completion of all required assessments and interviews, families will receive an official admission decision from the school. Admission decisions are based on the student’s overall profile, including academic readiness, school fit, and space availability.

To secure the student’s place, parents must submit:
