  • Admission Test for Applicants to Grades 6-11:

    All entrance tests are age-appropriate and evaluate literacy and numeracy skills.
     
    Applicants to Grades 6-11 will write an online test (with a fee of $125). The York School is collaborating with Crescent School and Royal St. George’s College to deliver the test; students applying to one, both, or all three schools will only be required to write one test and can write the test 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 Test Dates
    Applicants to Crescent School, Royal St. George's College or The York School are welcome to write at any one of the schools.
