The Process
How applying to Vaughan College works.
We run rolling admissions, so there is no deadline to chase. Most families move from applying to first class in two to four weeks, and the steps are the same whether your child is starting full-time or returning to finish a credit.
A few minutes, and it’s free
Apply online
Start with the short Apply Now form. A member of our admissions team will contact you personally within one business day to understand what you’re looking for and answer your first questions about the school, programs, and scheduling. Prefer to talk first? Call or email us any time.Allow about an hour, by appointment
Campus visit and conversation
We invite every family to visit the campus. Walk the halls during a regular school day, see classes in session, and meet the teachers your child would learn from. The visit is also when we’ll talk through their academic history, goals, and any support needs, from learning gaps to IEP accommodations.A day or two to gather documents
Application and documents
Complete the full application and submit your supporting documents: recent report cards, proof of citizenship, immunization records, and any professional assessments or IEPs that should inform course planning. The application fee is billed later in the admissions process.Usually within a week
Confirmation and course planning
Once your application is reviewed, we’ll send a confirmation email along with an invoice and a draft course plan. This is when our team and your family finalize the schedule (full-time, part-time, night, summer, online, or some combination) and arrange tuition payment. Installments are available.Welcome
Before the first day, your child’s teachers review their course history and any support priorities, so the day begins in class. Free after-school tutoring is available from day one.

Why It Feels Different
We’re looking for students we can help.
Our admissions team isn’t screening for the most polished applicant. We’re looking for the child who needs a smaller room, a different pace, a teacher who notices when something isn’t clicking.
That’s why we invite every family to visit. We want to get to know your child in person.
As an average student with modest grades, I hesitated about attending a private school. Vaughan College proved to be the right choice. The dedicated teachers and small class sizes allowed for personalized attention, helping me bridge the gaps in my understanding.
