Admissions Assessment:

At Canada Star Secondary School all international students whose primary language is other than English, are required to take an ELL assessment as part of the student’s application process for entry into the school. This assessment must be taken prior to admission of the student and receipt of the conditional letter of admission. 

The school uses a highly respected tool entitled iTEP SLATE (Secondary Level Assessment Test of English) is the most comprehensive tool for high schools, middle schools, and academies to measure the English proficiency of incoming ESL students and monitor the language development of students in existing English programs. 

This assessment must be conducted in order to inform what level or types of supports the student needs and requires.

The initial assessment takes 90 minutes to complete and involves grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
