Kindergarten Registration PREPARE TODAY. DON’T DELAY!

Kindergarten registration for children born in 2018 begins on November 1.

All kindergarten applicants are required to submit an application to their English catchment elementary school. This includes families who wish to apply for choice programs (Early French Immersion, Montessori, Indigenous Focus School, Early Mandarin Bilingual, Nootka Fine Arts) and/or a cross boundary placement.

The priority registration period for Kindergarten opens on November 1 and closes on January 31. Students who submit an application within this priority period will be accommodated before late applicants. 

Applying for kindergarten is a 2-step process:

Step 1: Completion of an online application form

Step 2: Verifying documentation

  • Contact your English catchment school office to set up an appointment to bring your supporting documentation
  • Bring supporting documentation to your English catchment school office during your scheduled appointment

Supporting documents needed:

  1. Proof of residence in Vancouver
  2. Child’s birth certificate
  3. Immigration documentation (if applicable)
  4. Immunization records
  5. Court orders/documents (if applicable)

 

If you want to apply for a Choice Program or cross-boundary, you must first apply to your English catchment elementary school. Applications for Choice Programs and cross boundary placements will begin to be accepted in early 2023.
