If your child presently attends school or daycare, please ask a current teacher to complete an AISNE Evaluation Form available for download on the left of this page. Please have it sent to us along with a copy of your child's last two progress reports.
Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) Applicants entering grades five through eight are requested to take the ISEE exam as this provides valuable information for our Admission Committee. Alternative standardized tests may be considered in conjunction with a separate visit to the School for an in-house assessment. Please contact the Anne Norris for further information.
Preschool, Prekindergarten, Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten applicants are invited to a small playgroup session. Grade 1-4 applicants are invited to spend a morning in one of our classrooms. Middle School applicants spend a full day in the classroom. These visits provide a relaxed and enjoyable time for your child to experience what it's like to be a Lesley Ellis student.
Join us for our next open house to explore classrooms, meet our teachers and administrators, and chat with some of our current parents. We host many open houses throughout the school year!
If you are applying for financial assistance, a Parents’ Financial Statement must be completed online and submitted to School and Student Services by January 31. For more information on financial assistance, please visit our Tuition & Financial Aid page.
