Beginning this year, the College will have a system of rolling Admissions.  This applies to Grades 7-9 only.  The offers will be sent at the follow intervals:

• First Round: End of October or early November
• Second Round: Early December
• Third Round: Mid-January.
• Final Round: Mid-February (if needed)

Parents will have the option of turning down the offer of admission and have their child put back into our Admissions Pool.  There will be no guarantees that the student will be accepted again during a subsequent round.

Grades 5-6 will be notified in early January 2022.

Parents will be notified by telephone and email.

The costs for textbooks, uniforms, instrumental music and visual art supplies are not included in the tuition. Parents and students are encouraged to participate in the used textbook sale organised by the De La Salle College Oaklands Shoppe, which is operated by members of the parental community.

Parents must make their own arrangements for transportation. Most students use public transit or have made arrangements to car pool with other parents. There are currently two buses arranged by parents in the Kleinburg and Woodbridge areas through Luna Bella Transportation Inc.. They can be reached for more information at 416-420-8873.

We accept students of various religious backgrounds. However, all students will be given instruction in the Catholic faith in all its fullness and richness, regardless of religious affiliation or the situation of their parents/adoptive parents/legal guardians. It is understood that our school community exists to pass on the Catholic faith to Catholic students and to help them grow in holiness as disciples of Jesus Christ.
