Studio Admissions

We are now accepting applications for the 2027-28 school year! Please know that the the deadline for all other applicants for Rundle Studio is November 15, 2026. After these dates, we continue to accept applications, pending availability.

Remote learning with a like-minded community

Rundle Studio prides itself on discovering students who are a good fit for our outstanding remote academic and co-curricular programs. Our school focuses on preparing diverse learners for post-secondary entry through differentiated instruction and personalized support. Rundle Studio students:

• Have a diagnosed learning disability in reading, writing, and/or math.
• Have an average to above-average cognitive profile, and are capable of finding success in an unmodified Alberta curriculum with personalized support and accommodations.
• Are seeking a teacher-led remote education environment.
• Seek social-emotional learning support.

All Rundle Studio students have Individual Program Plans (IPPs), which are developed in collaboration with students, parents, and teachers.

Language & Residency Requirements: Applicants must demonstrate grade-appropriate proficiency in all facets of the English language to succeed academically and fully participate in school life. Rundle Studio does not offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs. We do not provide boarding services; families are responsible for providing necessary documentation to attend an Alberta school.

5-Step Admissions Process

Step 1: Submit an Inquiry & Attend an Information Session

• Submit an Admissions Inquiry to get access to on-demand information sessions, and to sign up for an Open House.
  • Once you submit an inquiry, you will receive an email to access our Admissions Portal and event sign-up.
• Note: Connecting with our Enrolment team is required prior to submitting an application.
• Contact Enrolment: Email Ms. Andria Slipp at slipp@rundle.ab.ca or reach out to admissions@rundle.ab.ca.

Step 2: Submit an Application

Applications open September 9, 2026 for the 2027–28 academic year. Applications completed by November 15, 2026 receive first-round priority consideration. Applications remain open on an ongoing basis subject to availability.

Our students have strong academic profiles, but grades don’t tell a child’s whole story. In addition to academic readiness, our application process helps us understand each child’s passions, strengths, and areas for growth through questionnaires, portfolios, and personal interactions.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Admissions Portal.
   • Families new to Rundle must submit an Admissions Inquiry first to create an account on our Admissions Portal
2. Click the “Manage Application Checklist”.
3. Click the “Add a new application” button.
4. Once a new candidate has been added, navigate to the “Admissions Checklist” section.
5. Navigate to the “Ready to Apply” section and click Yes.
6. Complete the checklist items, including submitting a $175 non-refundable application fee.

Note: If your child’s application is waitpooled, you may reapply for the following school year without paying another fee. Please contact the admissions team to update and reapply your application.

Step 3: Application Review

Applications and all required documents are reviewed by the Studio admissions team. Review takes approximately two weeks, after which you will be contacted regarding your status. (Please note that space is limited and we are unable to accept all applicants).

Step 4: Virtual Interview

Selected candidates are invited to attend a virtual family interview lasting approximately 45 minutes. No preparation is required—this is an opportunity to learn more about the program and ask questions.

Step 5: Admissions Decision

Offers are communicated via email along with all required registration forms. Families have between one and two weeks to accept the offer. A tuition deposit is required upon acceptance. 

Because we maintain small class sizes to support our learners, intake numbers are limited each year, and we regrettably cannot offer spots to every qualified student.

Tuition Information

Tuition fees vary based on payment option and grade level. For full payment details, please visit our Tuition Fees page.
