Embarking on your child’s first full-day kindergarten experience is an exciting time and much deliberation goes into choosing the right school. Children are unique and bring their own personalities and interests to the learning environment.
That is why, in addition to school readiness, our application process helps us understand each child’s passions, strengths, and areas for growth. These important facets of a child’s uniqueness influence future academic achievement and social-emotional growth.
Please note that we do not accept applications years in advance; therefore, the earliest you can apply is the September before your child would attend Kindergarten. Kindergarten applicants for the 2024-2025 school year should be born in 2019 or late 2018.

Interviews offer a meaningful opportunity to have a more personal conversation with a member of the Admissions Team. These interviews help us to get to know your child and your family better, and they help you get to know Rundle College better!
Typically, interviews take place following the Learning Snapshot.
We are excited to extend contract offers to selected candidates.

In order for us to learn more about each candidate’s academic and character skill set, prospective students must write the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) and complete the Character Skills Snapshot (CSS). These items are required prior to any interviews or offers. Students with completed applications, including the SSAT, will be considered first. The CSS, which takes about 30 minutes, is done at home once SSAT registration is complete.
For SSAT registration and more details about writing the SSAT, please visit HERE. Throughout the summer and school year, we also offer virtual information sessions about the SSAT, the CSS, and how we use these results in our admission process. We hope you will join us.
SSAT writings for the 2023-2024 admission cycle begin in August. Students have 3 options:
Rundle College SSAT dates (in person)
More dates will be added throughout the school year based on demand. Please visit www.ssat.org to register.As the SSAT scores are scaled, there is no real advantage to leaving the test writing until late in the process. Based on the demand for our program, it is advantageous to complete the SSAT early in the fall.
Applications can be submitted without the SSAT results, but please indicate the date your child is scheduled to write the exam. This information helps us to plan the review of applications and scheduling interviews.
While we accept SSAT results throughout the year, those written by December 31 qualify applicants for the first round of offers.
Interviews offer a meaningful opportunity to have a more personal conversation with the enrolment team. These meetings help us to get to know your child and your family better, and they help you get to know Rundle College better!
