Step 1 ▶︎ Discover LFT

Open House Events: Come visit us during our Open House Events held in October and November. It's an excellent opportunity to discover our school, meet our teachers, and interact with our students. Guided by our students, you'll get a firsthand look at their daily lives and experiences. After all, who can speak about their school better than the students themselves?

Individual Visits: If you cannot attend the Open House Events, our admissions manager is available to schedule individual visits at any time of the year. Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about the admission process and learn more about our school.

Mid-Year Enrollment: We accept mid-year enrollments based on available spaces. 
Priority for spaces in the PreK class will be given to students who are 2 years and 6 months old at the start of the school year (September).  Please contact the admissions office to check if a space is available.

Eligibility for non-French-speaking Students: We welcome non-French-speaking students in our Kindergarten program, including TPS/PS (PreK), MS (JK), and Grande Section (SK) classes.

Please note that starting from CP/Grade 1, proficiency in French is required for admission. For more information, please refer to step 3.

Step 3 ▶︎ Admissions Test

Once your online application is submitted, our Admissions Committee will review it.

For students currently enrolled in a school accredited by the French Ministry of Education, no admissions test is required. Decisions will be based on the most recent report cards.

If your child is attending a different school, they will be invited to participate in a meet and greet (for Kindergarten entry) or an admissions test (for Grades 1 to 12).

• Admission to Kindergarten (Pre-K, JK, SK)

Your child will be invited for a “meet and greet” (30 minutes) with one of our Kindergarten teachers. The session will be in the child’s preferred language (French or English).
Please note: Candidates for Pre-K must be fully potty trained by the first day of school.

• Admission to Grades 1 - 12

Admissions tests for Grades 1-12 assess French language skills.

• Grade 1: Candidates must understand and speak French; reading and writing skills are not required.
• Grades 2-12: Both written and oral French skills will be assessed.

Both the admissions tests and kindergarten 'meet and greet' can be conducted via zoom for candidates residing outside of Toronto.

Step 4 ▶︎ Admissions Decision and Enrollment

Admissions decisions for the next school year will be communicated in mid-February.
The enrollment process is complete once:

• One parent has signed the contract online
• The $6500 due on enrollment fee has been paid

At the beginning of July, you will receive a detailed communication to help you prepare for the first day at LFT. This will include information on how to register for extracurricular activities, bus services, hot meals and Pizza Wednesdays, as well as how to purchase the sports uniform and school supplies.

We look forward to welcoming your child to LFT!
