Admissions Process

Click here to complete our Inquiry Form. Book a tour, attend a New Parent Information event, and register for our open houses. For international students, a virtual tour is available.  If you are ready to apply now, proceed to the next step below!

We welcome your application for your student. Whether local or international, new or returning family, every prospective student must complete the online application form to start the admissions-enrollment process. 

For School Year 2025-26: Semester one applications are now closed. We are accepting semester two applications until January 30, 2026. Here is the link to the current school year, semester two, application form. Watch for an automated email response with next steps.

For School Year 2026-27: The new student application portal will be open as of October 1st. For grade nine, our class capacity is 125. In rare instances, we may need to place a student on a waiting list pending an available space. Here is the school year 2026-27 application form. See Step 3. 

Your child’s application will be carefully reviewed and the next steps will be established. We will be in touch to either request a meeting, additional information or to confirm enrollment.

All applications are processed starting in the second week of January, and continuing until school starts or the class reaches capacity.  After that, a waiting list may be opened. 

In case of an abundance of applicants, we place a priority on families that currently have students enrolled at HDCH, and then offer placement to students from new families in the order they are received.

Parents of accepted students (including students from new families that have completed deposit requirements) receive an Enrollment Notification email. These emails are sent starting in late January and continue through to the end of the enrollment season.   

Every application is considered with the student’s needs and well-being in mind.

A non-refundable, one-time deposit is required for every new family. Requests for deposit start early in the calendar year. 

Tuition fees for local students are found here.

Families applying for bursary support (between February and May only) will be asked to complete a second FAST application form.

International students will be contacted individually as students may or may not require homestay and guardianship. 

If enrollment is confirmed, your next step will be to finalize your financial arrangement with the school. The tuition fee package, will be sent out, by lettermail, starting in mid-May. Families sign and return their tuition fee package documents within two weeks.
