Admissions

Admission to King’s Christian Collegiate is open to qualifying students who are eager to learn in a rigorous academic program that is designed for student success, and encourages gifts in a wide range of interests and abilities. An interview with a member of the Admissions Team is required. There is no academic test for admission; however, previous academic records (i.e. report cards) will be assessed to ensure that applicants have the necessary academic background. Admission is granted at the discretion of the school and is not necessarily based on timing.

Membership Fee

The initial membership fee is for parents who are becoming members of the King’s Christian Collegiate Association. There is one annual fee per family. Non-member families pay an administrative fee.

Capital Levy

The capital levy recognizes the investment that all parents – founding, past, and new – make in the enduring story of King’s Christian Collegiate. This is a one-time levy for new families.

Tuition Fee*

Tuition fees are for the operational costs of providing an exemplary Christian education.
The annual fees below are effective September 15, 2024.

Transportation Fee*

*Tuition and transportation fees qualify for a partial donation receipt based on the province’s calculation for “cost per student.” Bursaries are readily available as noted below.
  

Bursaries

King’s offers a generous and readily available bursary program to provide financial relief for tuition, transportation, and service trips.
The sole purpose of the King’s bursary program is to offer financial support where there is financial need. King’s makes no provision for scholarships based on a student’s academic, athletic, or other abilities.
Bursary applications are confidential and can be obtained by speaking with the Admissions Department (905.257.5464 ext. 508).
  

International Students

Additional Costs:

Meal costs are arranged directly through our partner, Dana Hospitality. Uniforms are available through our supplier InSchool Wear.

Each parent/guardian wishing to enrol a student in King’s usually becomes a member of King’s Christian Collegiate first. As a community of Christian parents, teachers and supporters, we are committed to involvement in all aspects of the operation of King’s. Membership is open to all who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and sincerely agree with our Vision and Mission statements. Members should be actively involved in the life of their home church and display Christian principles concerning lifestyle, marriage and the upbringing of their children.

A Board of Directors elected by King’s members manages the affairs of the King’s community, including setting policy, appointing administration and other staff, and appointing committees to support the school.

King’s accepts students with a range of learning styles into its academic program. The majority of our students intend to pursue higher education and are equipped for their futures in a challenging academic environment that rewards student initiative and learning-readiness. A key component of the admissions process is an interview with the Director of Admissions and the submission of all academic records and educational testing, where appropriate. No written entrance test is required.

Several international students have been acknowledged as leaders at King’s – winning competitions in art and mathematics, and securing roles such as Prefects, club organizers, and sports team captains. Many international students have graduated from King’s Christian Collegiate with top honours and have been accepted into prestigious universities in Canada and the United States. We endeavour to help our international students achieve the goals and dreams that convinced them to make the bold decision of studying in Canada.

King’s Christian Collegiate is pleased to partner with Attridge Transportation to meet student needs for getting to and from school. Together, we provide bus routes that are optimized for safety, for travel time, for client cost effectiveness, and for carbon footprint.

Our goals:

• Centralized bus stops so that students will walk no more than 10 minutes to and from home (using google maps).
• Students living within our defined geographical area can expect a bus ride of no more than 1 hour, barring extenuating circumstances (e.g. construction). Our current boundaries are Hurontario Street to the East, Derry Road to the North, Guelph Line to the West, and Lakeshore Avenue to the South.  Buses may be able to serve students outside these boundaries within reason and without guarantees of timing.
• By choosing this service, parents understand that we will do our best to achieve these goals.

Bus routes will be shared on Edsby no later than noon on Labour Day. Bus routes may be adjusted during the first two weeks of the school year.

The cost per student for using the bus in 2025-2026 is $2800. One way transportation is available at 75% of this rate. Parents can add (pending available seating) or withdraw from the bus service throughout the year. Paid bus fees are not refundable.

Admission Policy

King’s Christian Collegiate was established to offer high-quality Christian education to the Halton area’s Christian community.

We are dedicated to providing a rich and challenging educational experience for every student. We believe that effective learning happens when students and teachers engage in clearly defined tasks, fostering collaboration and mutual understanding. Our educators are expected to teach with expertise, passion, and genuine care for each student—above all, with a deep love for God. We uphold exemplary instruction as a cornerstone of meaningful learning.

Research consistently shows that student success is not determined by select programs, course variety, or class size. Instead, the most significant factor in a student’s achievement is having skilled teachers who are deeply committed to their students’ growth and well-being. King’s is structured to support the learning journey of up to 700 students, ensuring a nurturing and enriching environment.

Students are expected to approach their education with readiness and enthusiasm. Their role is to actively engage in learning by participating in classroom discussions, working diligently on assignments, seeking support when needed, and demonstrating respect for one another and for God in all aspects of school life. Ultimately, students hold the greatest responsibility for their own learning, and we encourage them to embrace this opportunity with dedication and purpose.
