Application deadline: November 1

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis; however, it is strongly suggested that submissions are completed in the fall as spaces are limited.

Students are invited to a one-hour observation in our kindergarten classrooms at the end of November.

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 these assessments is mandatory.

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!

Interviews commence December 1, following the completion of the assessments in November.

We are excited to extend contract offers to selected candidates. These offers come from the Admissions Office.

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.

• Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT)​ results or the date when your child is registered to write the exam
• a complete ​Character Skills Snapshot​ which is administered through SSAT and is completed online or at home

Application deadline:

• November 15 for grades 7 and 10
• January 15 for all remaining grades
• November 1 for siblings and children of Rundle alumni

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis; however, it is strongly suggested that submissions are completed in the fall as spaces are limited.

After November 15, we continue accepting applications for all grades. Families are contacted as suitable openings become available or if we elect to host further assessment opportunities.

In order for us to learn more about each candidate’s academic 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 2022/2023 admission cycle begin in August 2021.  Students have 3 options:

1. write the test via the SSAT at Home program;
2. write a computer-based test at a prometric test center; or
3. write a paper based version at various school locations throughout the year.   Students can write at any location that works best for them and do not need to write the test at Rundle College to apply at our school. 

Rundle College is offering the SSAT on the following dates: 

October 16, 2021

November 13, 2021

December 11, 2021

More dates will be added in late August and throughout the school year based on demand. 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 can be very advantageous to have the SSAT completed 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 scheduling interviews. 

The SSAT must be written by December 31 to qualify for sibling and alumni status.

Based on availability in our program as well as completed applications and assessments, selected students are invited to a family interview.

Interviews offer a meaningful opportunity to have a more personal conversation with the principal and the Director of Enrolment.

These meetings help us to get to know your child and your family better — and they help you get to know Rundle College better!

Interviews commence on December 1.

We are excited to extend contract offers to selected candidates. These offers come directly from the Admissions Office.

Acceptance to Rundle College is based on the application (including responses to required questions of parents and students), requested documentation, academic history, classroom observation and the interview.
