Meeting our prospective students and their families is a key part of our process at BSS. We will be interviewing students and parents in JK, SK, Grade 3 and Grade 4. Interviews will occur from October through to mid February. For Grades 1, 2, 5, 6, interviews and assessments will only occur as space becomes available.

Middle & Senior School (Grade 7 – 12)

Included in the interview time is a tour for the applicant and family with one of our Student Ambassadors – they can tell you all about what it is like to be a student at BSS. During the interview girls will:

• Be interviewed one-on-one by a member of the Student Recruiting Team
• Parents will meet with a member of the Student Recruiting Team

Boarding & International Applicants (Grade 7 – 12)

If families are planning to travel to Toronto during the school year please contact us at studentrecruiting@bss.on.ca to schedule an interview while you’re here. If you are able to have an in-person interview it will follow the same format as the interviews above.

If you will not be in the Toronto area, our team will contact you to arrange for a Skype or phone interview.

Be sure to check our “On the Road” dates to see if we are travelling to a city near you. During those visits we would be happy to meet and conduct your interview then.
