If space is available, families receive an application package; applications require documentation and a non-refundable fee, and may include an assessment and interviews. MRCS provides separate pathways for Canadian citizens/permanent residents (K–12 Admission Inquiry Form) and for international/permit families and those with English-language learners (International Admission Inquiry Form and international admissions process, including ELL testing).
