If we receive more registrations than available seats, the registration will go to a lottery that follows our enrollment priorities. Please note that for École John Stubbs, the elementary and middle schools are considered separate. If you have a child in École John Stubbs Middle School (grade 6-8) or have a child who will be in the middle school the following September, enrolment priorities #2 and #4 apply. If you have a child in École John Stubbs Elementary or will have a child who will be in the elementary school the following September, enrolment priorities #2 or #4 do not apply.
We recommend attending the information session as there will be staff on-hand to answer your questions, please also consider bringing your child in case they have questions too.
