APPLY TODAY
Welcome, my name is Mrs. Liz Coca and I am the Administrative Assistant in the International School.
I invite any questions or comments and would be pleased to assist you.
At Regent Christian Academy we accept students throughout the academic year provided that there are openings for new students.
We admit students throughout the school year if space permits and prefer that students enroll in September or in February.
Students must meet our admissions criteria. Records from the past two school years must demonstrate consistent work habits, good moral character, and a positive attitude.
GRADES K - 6
Kindergarten to Grades 6 students are directly admitted into the regular RCA classes.
GRADES 7 - 12
Students, Grades 7 to 12, are initially accepted into our English as a Second Language Program. They are given a number of tests to determine which level of our program they will enter. In rare cases a student of high school age may receive direct entry into our regular program. Most students spend one year in our ESL program before they are ready to enter a regular school.
Placement in the RCA regular school depends on a number of criteria: available space, work habits, test results, attitude, and staff evaluations.
HOW TO APPLY
You may choose to apply directly to our school or use the services of an AGENT. An agent is a person who acts on behalf of may students to assist them in coming to study in Canada. Most of our International students have decided to attend RCA after being referred to us by their agent.
While it is best to enter our program at the beginning of each semester, September and February, we also accept students all through the school year.
You may fill out our APPLICATION FORM and submit it to us via email, fax, or mail. You must include previous report cards from the past two school years that have been translated into English. Include a photocopy of the student's passport.
