Application Process
Elementary Regional Learning Choice Programs are open to all current Grade 5 students that will be in Grade 6 in September 2026
Students who are interested in applying to any of the RLCP programs will be required to meet the eligibility criteria that is specific to the program of interest
Please click on the appropriate RLCP to see a description/requirements or visit https://www.peelschools.org/elementary-regional-learning-choice-programs
Parent information night dates will be shared on this website as well as the Peel website once they are known
When you create an account, use an email address that is active and is consistently checked (this is the main communication between home and school) - consider using an adults email address
Applicants are offered space in a Regional Learning Choices Program based on a two-step process:
Once a student applies, there will be a review of their final Grade 4 report card, as well as any other requirements that the RLCP school has asked for during the application process. If a student meets the application criteria, they will move on to the second step in the process.
In the second step, if the student meets the application criteria, their application will be entered into the random selection process for each program. In the random selection process, a computer will randomly assign a number to each applicant who has successfully met the application criteria for each program and spaces for the programs will be offered.
For new Grade 5 students who have recently moved to Peel, within the application procedures, you must upload copies of your Grade 4 final report card
Once all available spaces have been offered, the remaining students will be placed on the school's waitlist
