Admission Process
We are pleased you are considering VCS for your child’s Christian education!
We are no longer accepting applications for Kindergarten to Grade 7 for the 2024/2025 school year.
PHASE 1: INQUIRY
Keen to join the VCS community?
Are you interested in, or are curious about, what it means to pursue an excellent, Christ-centred education for your child? Contact: admission@vancs.org with any questions you have.
Sign up for a school tour if you would like to observe VCS in action! Please note that this is an optional step in the admissions process. A tour is helpful especially for those who may be very unfamiliar with the school, with Christian education, or for those who have specific questions that we can answer in a smaller group setting.
Request an application by completing the application request form. This step is compulsory. Our admissions team will be in touch with you to guide you through the application process or to inform you if we are not accepting applications for a particular grade level. Only the grades that have space will be invited to apply.

PHASE 2: REGISTRATION
The admissions team will create your personal online application package. The package will reach you via the email address that you provided on the inquiry form. Invitations to apply will begin starting October 17th.
Completed applications should be submitted together with a $200 non-refundable online application fee.
Please note the submission cut-off dates by grade levels. Applications submitted after these dates will be placed in the wait pool and will only be considered if there are remaining spaces.
Submission Cut-off Dates
Elementary (Kindergarten): Oct 27, 2023 (CLOSED)
Elementary School (Gr 1-2): Dec 21, 2023 (CLOSED)
High School (Gr 8-12): when all available spaces are filled
Interviews will be scheduled for applicants via email. These include an in-person family interview with the Principal, and a student assessment session with the student and one of our learning support teachers.
Upcoming Interview Schedule
Elementary (Kindergarten): from November 2023 (CLOSED)
Elementary School (Gr 1-7): from February 2024
High School (Gr 8-12): in November 2023, January and April 2024
PHASE 3: APPLICATION RESULTS
Each application is carefully and prayerfully considered. We want each child who enters our school to thrive. Several factors influence our decision process to accept an applicant. This includes grade level capacity, and the availability of school resources to support the student well. The admissions team will explain wait pool options for students we are unable to accommodate for that school year. If you would like to review our Admissions Policy at any point in the process, please contact our Admissions Office.
An admissions acceptance letter and an online registration package will be issued to successful applicants. In order to secure the applicant’s spot in VCS, the admissions office must receive:
- The completed registration package by the deadline indicated in the letter, and
- A $800 tuition deposit. (These funds will be applied towards the student’s tuition).
The applicant is officially registered following both of these steps!
PHASE 4: LEAD UP TO THE SCHOOL YEAR
You will be informed of your tuition invoice payment options by the admissions team.
A welcome newsletter is mailed out by the end of August with information that will help you and your child(ren)prepare for life at VCS. We look forward to welcoming you to our community!
Please feel free to reach out to admissions@vancs.org if you have questions during this process. Thank you for your interest in joining the VCS community!
