When Should I Apply?

As soon as possible. THE NEXT LEVEL is a small centre with a strong yearly re-enrollment, so there are limited spaces available each year.  Many families start to look for a new school in the fall and winter of the year before entry. 

Do You Only Take Students In Certain Years, Or ‘Entry Years’?

We accept students into our program any time.

Do You Accept Students Once The School Year Has Begun?

Yes, we are happy to accept students during the school year if we have space available. The sooner students come in, the sooner they start learning the functional skills they will use for the rest of their lives

How Do You Select Students?

Once the assessment process is completed, we consider how well the program can meet the needs of the prospective student. We also look at the fit with other students in our groups and the amount of support a student may require.

What Kinds Of Students Attend The Next Level?

The Next Level is an inclusive environment. Most students have a diagnosis of some kind (High needs individuals, Learning Disability, Down Syndrome, ASD, MID). Some of our students have come from a high school alternative (non-credit) program, and some have even earned their high school diploma. Some have been out of school for several years. Our students have various challenges, but to us, they are individuals who benefit from the unique, individualized programming available at THE NEXT LEVEL.

Do You Have Parents Who I Can Call For References About THE NEXT LEVEL?

Yes, we have current parents who would be more than happy to speak with prospective parents about The Next Level. We’d be pleased to provide contact information to you during our meeting.

Do You Accept Students Who Require 1:1 Support?

We consider 1:1 support for students on a case-by case basis. We have a limited number of spots available for students who require 1:1 support. 

How Much Is The Application Fee?

Can I Use The Money That I Have Saved In The RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) Fund Towards Program Fees?

Yes.
