Apply for Grades 9 to 12

Applications are accepted in August one year prior to the intended year of entry at GNS and reviewed beginning in October. There is no application deadline—we will continue to accept and review applications throughout the school year as space is available.

Note that the main intake year for our Senior School is Grade 9 with limited spaces available in Grade 10 and Grade 11. Applications to Grade 12 may be considered under certain circumstances—please contact admissions@mygns.ca prior to starting your application to ensure we are able to accommodate your graduation requirements.

After completing the form below you will create your myGNS Admissions Portal login and then you will be able to access the application form. Once the form has been submitted, you will be assigned an application checklist to upload supporting documents (including a current applicant and family photo, proof of age/citizenship, and immunization records).

Included with your application form is a non-refundable application fee of $250 CDN, payable by credit card.

Families are encouraged to explore our campuses via in-person visits or through virtual tour experiences. In addition, as part of the admissions process, families may be invited to meet with the school’s principal and/or members of the Admissions Team to gain a better understanding of your expectations and to share with you the opportunities available at GNS. You are also welcome to request a Family Meeting at any time during the application process.

Once the application form and all required documents have been submitted, applicants may be invited to complete an online Academic Assessment, which may include:

• An assessment of literacy and numeracy skills
• An interview
• An English-language assessment (if required)

If the applicant speaks English as a second language, they may be required to complete an English-language assessment. The applicant should provide a recent official IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo assessment result as part of their application.

As part of the admissions process, applicants may be invited to attend a Shadow Day to gain a better understanding of our school’s schedule, expectations and opportunities. You are also welcome to request a Shadow Day for your child.

Our efforts are directed toward creating balanced classes with a range of personalities, learning styles and abilities.

The Admissions Committee, which is comprised of members of the Academic and Admissions teams, will review the whole application and send a decision to the family typically two weeks after the assessment date:

• Offer of Admission: the applicant is offered a place at GNS.
• Wait Pool: the applicant is placed in the wait pool for the grade and will be notified if space becomes available.
• Not Offered: the applicant is not suited to the school’s program or space is unavailable.
