Continuous, year-round admissions
Markham Secondary School strives to personalize the education experience for every student, and to meet their particular educational needs in every way. To this end, we are usually prepared to take-in new students at any time during the school year.
Application Procedure
Interview (local Students)
We usually begin with an informal meeting between the student, parents/guardian and the Principal. The goal of the meeting is for all parties to determine whether there is a fit between the student’s needs, goals and personality and the school’s programs and culture.
Parents/guardian should bring the following documents to the interview:
- a recent copy of signed OST (Ontario School Transcript)
- a copy of the student’s most recent report card
- two passport size photographs
- proof of school’s fees payment
- completed application forms both paper form and showing all required Academy credit courses. The virtual application form allows students to
setup their own password protected secured accounts, which enables them getting access to their teacher’s notes, assignments, projects, marks, …
English Assessment
If the student, parents/guardian and principal are all satisfied that the right fit exists between the prospective student and the school, the next step involves an Academic Assessment of the student’s skills in reading, writing and math. There is no fee for the assessment.
Grades 9: Students are required to participate in our assessment process. The assessment takes 2-3 hours. It is designed to identify the child’s abilities in mathematics, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension.
Grades 10, 11 & 12: Students are admitted based on submission of current academic records.
