Admission Process for new families/children entering Kindergarten at Akiva is as follows: (Please see below for new families entering classes 1 to 6)
(The official registration process for Kindergarten begins 2 years before the child’s entry into school. We suggest that you either fill out the online inquiry form or call the school when your child is almost 3 years old.)
Step 1 – Visit the School:
It is recommended that new families attend one of two Open Houses for the best opportunity to learn about Akiva. The Open Houses typically take place in November and there is one in the morning and one in the evening. Please refer to our online school calendar.
We are always open to visitors to the school. Please call Suzana Rajic to arrange – (514) 939-2430.
Step 2 – Book a meeting with the Head of School:
Families that are interested can book a meeting with our Head of School and the Recruitment committee, during a six week period after the open house. New families are invited to attend with their child.
Step 3 – Submit Application:
Parents are invited to submit an application to the school at any time before or after the meeting in step 2. There is no application fee.
Step 4 – Accepted families will be called:
Families that have been accepted are called in December and asked to bring in a non-refundable administrative fee that will guarantee their spot.
Wait list
Families that have not been accepted are automatically placed on a wait list. We encourage families that have been placed on the wait list to communicate with the school on a regular basis in order to keep their files active.
Numbers
There are up to 52 children that are registered at each level from Kindergarten through Grade six (up to 26 in each class). We are very strict in respecting these numbers and do not exceed this amount at any time.
Admission Process for new families/children entering grade 1 to 6:
