I have a child who came off the waitlist mid-summer last year and it came via email. I don't know whether they would have followed up by phone if I hadn't seen the message.


They do follow up with a phone call if you don't respond to the email.

Yes. I would like to know this as well. Thanks.


you have to take the test first. If the child passes, then it's your choice on if you move them or not.


Does anyone have an idea how the tests are being administered in Covid 19? Are they doing it over the phone or zoom? Also, if you are already in an immersion program, but looking to change schools do they still require testing or do they talk to the teacher/look at test scores?

I have heard that people are starting to get invites off the waitlist. That makes sense, if you have 5 days to respond and then it moves on, the timing seems right. We are #4 but haven’t heard anything. I’m nervous that I missed the email or accidentally deleted it or such. I don’t want to bombard them with unnecessary emails or checkins. Any way to preemptively accept?

probably still too soon to see.....original offers have 5 days to decide, after that 3 days for the next ones.


Thanks. I was thinking if the first round had to decide by Monday then the second group would have has to decide by today and there might be some movement
