Studio Admissions
Virtual learning with a like-minded community
Rundle Studio prides itself in discovering students who are a good fit for our outstanding academic and co-curricular programs, which are specifically designed for complex learners and students who have been diagnosed with a learning disability, with or without ADHD.
Our school focuses on preparing students for entry to post-secondary studies after high school through differentiated instruction and our well-rounded co-curricular program.
All of our students have Individual Program Plans (IPPs), which are developed in collaboration with students, their parents, and teachers. Our students master their difficulties through our individualized programs, which are based on Alberta Education Curriculum.
Applicants must demonstrate grade-appropriate proficiency in all facets of the English language in order to succeed academically and to fully participate in school life at Rundle Studio. Rundle Studio does not offer English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Language Learner (ELL) programs. We do not provide boarding services and it is the responsibility of the family to provide the necessary documentation for their children to attend an Alberta school.

Admission Process

2024-25 and 2025-26 Studio Applications
Applications for the 2024-25 school year remain open with limited availability. To learn more, please email us at admissions@rundle.ab.ca.
Applications for the 2025-26 academic year will open on September 9, 2024. Applicants are accepted on an ongoing basis, but it is strongly suggested that applications be made in the fall as spaces may be limited.
Visit the Admissions Portal to begin the process with these steps:
- create an account
- set your password
- start your application
- pay a $175 non-refundable application fee
Attach supporting documents including:
- a copy of the student’s psychoeducational evaluation and IPP (if applicable)
- a copy of the student’s birth certificate or Canadian visa/landed immigrant form
- a recent photograph of the student
- the last two years of student’s final report cards
- video submission (details will be emailed to you)

- the most recent Provincial Achievement Test results, where applicable
The application process can be completed over a period of time prior to submission.
Applications and all required documents are reviewed by the Studio admissions team. Once this is completed you will be contacted regarding the status of your application. This process takes approximately two weeks. Please note that we are unable to accept all students to our program.
Selected candidates are invited to attend a family interview. These interviews are conducted virtually and take about 45 minutes. During our time together families will have an opportunity to learn more about the program and ask questions. No preparation is required for this process.
Offers are communicated by email, and all required forms accompany the offer. Families have between one and two weeks to accept the offer. A tuition deposit is required upon acceptance of the offer.
Tuition fees vary based on the payment option chosen. For tuition payment details, please visit here.
Applicants to Rundle Studio should have an independent psychoeducational assessment conducted prior to applying to the school. Rundle does not conduct these assessments but can make recommendations to psychologists who may be available to assess prospective students. The assessment needs to have been conducted within the last three years of the application date.
The assessment needs to include both academic and intellectual testing. The tests that best fit these criteria are typically the WISC and the WIAT. Our mandate is to service students who have average to above-average intelligence and are diagnosed with a learning disability. Your child must be eligible for specific coding through Alberta Learning.
For more information, please email admissions@rundle.ab.ca to reach the admissions team.
