Step 1: What "Documents" do I need to get started?
***Please note, your child cannot attend school in our system unless they are 4 years of age before December 31st***
Passport (Copy)
Birth Certificate (Copy with English Translation)
English Translation of latest school records
Copy of Parent's study or work permit (if applicable)
Step 2: Complete the Application
Complete the application, attach all the required documents and email it to:
Question: Do I need to Pay Fees?
If you are the parent, and you have a valid study or work permit, there are no fees. However, your child will need to have Health Insurance before starting school. We require a copy of the health insurance. If you do need to pay the application fee and the tuition please email international@cbvrce.ca to make these arrangements.
Step 3: Review the Application and Issue Letter of Acceptance.
Once we have all the required information, we will review the application and issue a Letter of Acceptance.
PLEASE NOTE: Some people require the letter to enter the country. A Letter of Acceptance is not NOT needed for everyone. If you have all of the other information (including health insurance), you can apply to your school.
Step 4: Online School Registration
Once you have your letter of acceptance, you can register for your school online.
Please make sure that you read everything on the page carefully. Please do not try to do this on a smartphone and use the recommended java-enabled browsers. Once you fill this in and attach the required documents, the principal of the school, will receive an email about your new submission and you should receive a confirmation email as well.
Step 5: Welcome to your new School
At this point you should be able to contact the school for any questions that you might have.
