Academic Assessment for Applicants to Grades 7-11

All entrance assessments are age-appropriate and evaluate literacy and numeracy skills.
 
Applicants to Grades 7-11 will write an online assessment (with a fee of $125). The York School is collaborating with Crescent School and Royal St. George’s College to deliver the assessment; students applying to one, both, or all three schools will only be required to write one assessment and can write the assessment at either Crescent School, Royal St. George's College or The York School. We hope this will minimize some of the challenges associated with the application process.

Admission Assessment Dates
Applicants to Crescent School, Royal St. George's College or The York School are welcome to write at any one of the schools.
