Application Process

Thank you for choosing to apply to Concordia. Before you begin, please determine if your child meets all eligibility requirements.

  • Step 1

    Submit Application & Documents

    Eligible applicants can initiate the online application process. A personalized checklist will then guide them through the remaining requirements, including the application fee, school reports, test results, and confidential recommendations. Once all required items are received, the application will proceed to initial review.

  • Step 2

    Complete Interview & Assessments

    Following the initial review, applicants may be invited to an interview or assessment based on their grade level and individual application. This may include an English-language proficiency assessment or other grade-appropriate activities to help the admissions team better understand the student’s readiness and support needs.

  • Step 3
