Apply for Boarding

Applications are available in the summer one year prior to the intended year of entry at GNS and reviewed beginning in the fall.

There is no application deadline—we will continue to accept and review applications throughout the school year as space is available in the grade and Boarding program.

Applications to Grade 12 may be considered under certain circumstances—please contact the Admissions Office prior to starting your application to ensure we are able to accommodate your graduation requirements.

Families are encouraged to attend an Open House, arrange a school tour or get to know our campuses through a virtual info session at any point during the application process. Connect with the Admissions Office here to schedule a school tour or register for an event.

After completing the Application Inquiry form below,  you will receive an email with instructions to create your myGNS login. Once you are logged into the myGNS portal, you will be able to access the application form. You will also be assigned a checklist to upload supporting documents (including a current applicant and family photo, proof of age/citizenship, report cards, and immunization records).

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

Once the application form and all required documents have been submitted, candidates will be invited to attend a Campus Visit. Campus Visits are unique to each candidate and may include:

• Campus tours
• Interview(s)
• Academic assessment(s)
• Student-led experience

For candidates who are unable to attend in-person, an online assessment and interview will be arranged with a member of our Admissions team.

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

Our efforts are directed toward creating a balanced class 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 within 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.

Congratulations! If you have received an offer of admission to GNS, you will need to complete the assigned Tuition and Enrolment Agreement form by the deadline indicated in your offer letter.

Included with this form is a non-refundable registration fee as per the GNS Fees & Financial Policies.

If you would like to discuss your offer, please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions office.
