There is no a set score we require. Keep in mind your child is competing against and being compared to other applicants as well as our currently enrolled students. The minimum score varies by year and grade. As a general rule, students should aim to score above average in all three sections of the test, and in the 50th percentile or higher for a total score.
-
Students with strong applications and admissions testing scores will be invited to a classroom visit. The purpose of the class visit is to:
Allow our teachers to see if a student will be a good fit at Webber Academy from both an academic and social perspective.
Allow students to meet our students and teachers and to find out what it would be like to attend Webber Academy.
For distance applicants that are not able to attend a class visit, we would require the completion of the Confidential Report Form but a homeroom teacher at the current school.
-
Generally, we accept about 55-60% of the students who apply.
-
While we do have students in our school who speak English as their second language, all have displayed proficiency in English. Due to the enriched and accelerated academic programme at Webber Academy, in order to be considered for admission, a student must display a strong level of ability in English. We do not have ESL/EAL/ELL support programmes.
*CBE report cards with ELL indicators must be LP4 (minimum) or LP5 (preferred)*
-
No. There are many students at Webber Academy who are gifted, but it is not required. Every student at Webber Academy would be considered of above-average ability.
