Unique among independent schools in Canada, Rundle delivers parallel College and Academy programs on two separate campuses. The Academy program meets the needs of students who have a diagnosed learning disability, with or without ADHD. Our students are in the average to above-average range of intellectual functioning but have difficulties with specific academic activities and skills.
Rundle Academy is a caring learning community where students have the space to develop confidence, self-esteem and motivation to excel academically and grow in their love for learning.

Embarking on your child’s first full-day kindergarten experience is an exciting time, and much deliberation goes into choosing the right school. Children are unique and bring their own personalities and interests to the learning environment.
That is why, in addition to school readiness, our application process helps us understand each child’s passions, strengths, and areas for growth. These important facets of a child’s uniqueness influence future academic achievement and social-emotional growth.
Please note that we do not accept applications years in advance; therefore, the earliest you can apply is the September before your child would attend kindergarten. Kindergarten applicants for the 2024–2025 school year should be born in 2019 or late 2018.
Applications are now open for the 2024–2025 school year. Those who complete their applications by November 15 qualify for the first round of considerations.
Historically, all kindergarten openings are filled from applications submitted by the application deadline; however, we continue accepting applications should further openings develop. Please contact our Admissions Team for further information.
To start the admission process, please visit the Admissions Portal:
Once you have received a confirmation email, you can attach the requested supporting documents.
Upon completion of the application documents, candidates are invited to attend a Learning Snapshot session, which is a one-hour observation in our kindergarten classrooms.
The Snapshot takes place following the application deadline, and students participate in various age-appropriate activities. This helps our teachers get to know your child better in a Rundle College context.
In order to be considered for admission, your child’s attendance at a Learning Snapshot session is mandatory.
The Learning Snapshot session for 2024–2025 school year applicants is Saturday, November 25, 2023.
Based on availability in our program as well as completed applications and assessments, parents of selected students are invited to an interview.
Interviews offer a meaningful opportunity to have a more personal conversation with a member of the Admissions Team. These interviews help us to get to know your child and your family better, and they help you get to know Rundle College better!
Typically, interviews take place following the Learning Snapshot.
We are excited to extend contract offers to selected candidates.
Acceptance to Rundle College is based on the application including responses to required questions of parents and students, requested documentation, classroom observation, and the interview.

Our Application Portal is now open for the 2024–2025 school year. Those who complete their applications by November 15 and the SSAT by December 31 qualify for the first round of considerations. We continue accepting applications throughout the school year, but we recommend that they are submitted in the fall as spaces are limited.
Our students have strong academic profiles. However, grades don’t tell a child’s whole story.
That is why, in addition to academic readiness, our application process helps us understand each child’s passions, strengths, and growth areas which influence academic achievement and social-emotional growth. Applicants share who they are by way of videos, questionnaires, Character Skills Snapshots, and personal interviews.
Historically, the majority of openings are filled from applications submitted by the application deadline; however, we continue accepting applications for all remaining openings.

To start the admission process, please visit the Admissions Portal:
Once you have received a confirmation email, you can attach the requested supporting documents.
In order for us to learn more about each candidate’s academic and character skill set, prospective students must write the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) and complete the Character Skills Snapshot (CSS). These items are required prior to any interviews or offers. Students with completed applications, including the SSAT, will be considered first. The CSS, which takes about 30 minutes, is done at home once SSAT registration is complete.
For SSAT registration and more details about writing the SSAT, please visit here. Throughout the summer and school year, we also offer virtual information sessions about the SSAT, the CSS, and how we use these results in our admission process. We hope you will join us.
SSAT writings for the 2024–2025 admission cycle begin in August. Students have three options:
Rundle College SSAT dates (in person)
More dates will be added throughout the school year based on demand. Please visit www.ssat.org to register. As the SSAT scores are scaled, there is no real advantage to leaving the test writing until late in the process. Based on the demand for our program, it is advantageous to complete the SSAT early in the fall.
Applications can be submitted without the SSAT results, but please indicate the date your child is scheduled to write the exam. This information helps us to plan the review of applications and to schedule interviews.
While we accept SSAT results throughout the year, those written by December 31 qualify applicants for the first round of offers.
Interviews offer a meaningful opportunity to have a more personal conversation with the Admissions Team. These meetings help us to get to know your child and your family better, and they help you get to know Rundle College better!
