Given the high demand for admission, offers of enrolment are highly competitive. Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 6 are the main points of entry at Southpointe Academy. We accept applications at all levels, but as our classes are capped at 24 students between Grades 6 and 12, space is not guaranteed.
STEP 1: Download an Application Form
The following documents must be submitted before an application will be considered:
- Copies of the applicant’s school reports for both the current and previous year.
- For Grades 10 to 12, copies of reports for each grade of high school completed.
- Up to two academic or personal letters of reference. A photocopy of the applicant’s birth certificate or passport.
- One (1) passport-sized photograph.
- A non-refundable and non-transferable application fee (see page below) of $400 for domestic and $700 for international students, may be paid via cash or cheque to 'Southpointe Academy.
Step 2: Plan A Visit
A tour of our school is the best way to determine whether Southpointe Academy feels like the right fit for your child. To schedule a tour, please email our Admission’s Office at admissions@southpointe.ca or call us at 604-948-8826. Alternatively, we invite you to join us at our Open Houses. Our Open House season is in October and November.
Step 3: Schedule An Entrance Assessment
All candidates are required to undergo an entrance assessment to determine their suitability for our school’s program. In Kindergarten, the assessment is used to establish whether the student is ready for the program. Upon receiving your application, the Admissions Office will contact you to schedule an assessment date. Our assessments are completed in January.
Step 4: Student & Family Interview
Following the reception of all necessary documents and the completion of an entrance assessment, selected candidates and their families will be contacted to arrange an interview with one of our administrators. Both parents or guardians are strongly encouraged to attend. The aim of this interview is to ascertain whether the candidate and his or her family are congruent with our mission and core values.
Step 5: Admission Decisions

- Once an applicant has been accepted, a notification of placement will be offered.
