Hudson College ADMISSIONS

Private schools in Canada have admissions policies, and they require application materials. These may include letters of application, application fees, essays, and tests (such as the SSAT). Many schools also require interviews with prospective students. Schools also use different criteria for evaluating student applications, have different acceptance rates, and target different kinds of students. To improve your child’s chances of acceptance, find out everything you can about a school’s admissions policies and how they assess applicants.

What Hudson College says about their admissions requirements:

  1. Complete our inquiry form to receive application information, schedule a meeting with or admissions team, or register for an upcoming event.
  2. Submit an application using our admission portal. We accept applications throughout the year, but recommend applying by the first deadline in November for the best chance of placement.
  3. Upload all supporting documents (a copy of a birth certificate/passport, up-to-date immunization records, final report cards from the previous 2 years, additional grade-specific documentation) and request a teacher/principal recommendation by email using the admission portal.
  4. Our team will contact then you to confirm whether we can proceed with an assessment (JK–Grade 9) and/or interview (Grade 10 and above). Applicants to JK–Grade 8 will also be invited for a visit day at Hudson. Please note that placement in each grade may be limited or for a waiting list, and that due to scheduling limitations, we may not be able to invite every qualified applicant to complete the next steps. An application fee is only due after confirmation of an interview/assessment.

What people say about the Admissions

A friendly and supportive process

Observations from students and parents indicate that Hudson College's admissions process is both friendly and supportive, with organized instructions, helpful staff, and opportunities for prospective families to engage with the school community.

The process is simple, straightforward and significantly less onerous than other private schools. Ask questions - there isn't anything the staff, teachers or certainly the students won't answer. Not every school is right for every student or family. Hudson is the right school for our children and our family. The only way you will know is to go in with an open and inquisitive mind.
—James Hyslop, parent (see full review)
The transition moving from my previous school to Hudson College was an extremely easy and stress-free process. I had come for a tour to see what Hudson had to offer and within seconds of entering I was greeted by a staff member who began the tour and admission process. Like most people tend to be, I was extremely stressed to get accepted into Hudson College. However everyone that I had talked to was friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring. The process was simple and quick. I came in for an interview with the upper school's principle, Jack Bavington, and after the interview was accepted into the school.
—Daniel DeBarros, student (beginning 2016) (see full review)
I remember going to an open house at Hudson and being really impressed by the Grade 8 student who took us around. She was very friendly and open, and we asked her all sorts of questions about life at Hudson. That's really worth doing. It's one thing reading about a school, but having a chat with someone who's actually experienced it is invaluable. When our daughter had a try-out day at Hudson, she didn't want to leave. We carried her out sideways. This was a big change from our other school viewings! We knew then that we'd found a winning combination.
—Nicolette Linton, parent (see full review)
