Student Enrolment Procedure

Trafalgar Castle School has a rolling application process; however, spaces fill very early.

The first step in the enrolment process for day students begins with a full-day visit, which provides prospective students the opportunity to experience life as a Trafalgar girl.

Following the day visit, students are to complete an online application package with the following:

  • Completed online application form;
  • Final report cards for the past two years;
  • A confidential teacher recommendation; and
  • Application fee.

The student’s application package is then assessed, and eligible candidates are invited in for an interview and an assessment. At this point, if the student is a successful candidate, an official letter of acceptance will be offered.

Trafalgar Castle School has been educating girls and young women for more than 140 years. Our day program attracts students from across Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area, making up approximately two-thirds of our student population. The other third of our students are boarders who come to us from across Canada and countries around the world. Our day students benefit from Trafalgar Castle’s global perspective and make lifelong friendships with students from near and far.

Grade 4 coming to Trafalgar September 2018!

We are excited to be expanding our day program and welcoming even more girls to the Trafalgar community with the addition of Grade 4 in 2018. Our Grade 4 class will benefit from the same whole-school activities and warm community that make Trafalgar such a special place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the interview?
The interview is an opportunity for us to get to know you and your family. It is also a chance for you to ask questions about Trafalgar Castle School and to share your reasons for wanting to join our community of learners. A member of our Admissions Team will contact you to schedule a time for your interview. There is no need to prepare for the interview or bring anything with you.
Following your interview, you will be asked to complete an assessment of math, reading and writing that is levelled to your current grade. You are not required to study for the assessment. Its role is to help us better understand your learning.
Absolutely. Trafalgar Castle School works openly and actively with families to ensure that learning needs are addressed, whether the need is for additional support or for enrichment. Sharing information about individual learning needs during the admissions process helps us make the process a positive and supportive one for you and your family. It is recommended that your Individual Education Plan or psychoeducational assessment (where available) be shared at the time of application.
Trafalgar Castle School has a rolling admissions process.
