Welcome to Al-Manarat Islamic High School!
“Jazakumullahu Khairan for your interest in Al-Manarat Islamic High School for an academically enhanced and transformative spiritual experience. Below you will find the steps to apply for the upcoming school year.”
Admission decisions are based on the applicant’s previous academic record, entrance assessment results, interview, and the discretion of the Al-Manarat High School Committee.
Steps to register your child:
There are three steps to the admission process:
- Entrance Test
- Application Form
- Interview
Entrance Test
Prospective students complete an entrance assessment in English, Mathematics, and Critical Thinking. The assessment evaluates the student’s readiness for the grade to which they are applying.
The English and Mathematics portions are based primarily on curriculum expectations from the student’s current or most recently completed grade. They are not based on material that will be taught after admission.
For example, a student applying to enter Grade 11 will be assessed on Grade 10 concepts, including the prerequisite knowledge from MPM2D and ENG2D. Applicants from another province or country should prepare the equivalent prerequisite curriculum.
| Applying for | Tested on | Courses / level assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 9 | Grade 8 work | Grade 8 Mathematics & Grade 8 Language |
| Grade 10 | Grade 9 work | MTH1W (Math) & ENG1W (English) |
| Grade 11 | Grade 10 work | MPM2D (Math) & ENG2D (English) |
| Grade 12 | Grade 11 work | MCR3U (Math) & ENG3U (English) |
The entrance assessment does not grant an OSSD course credit. Detailed preparation topics are provided below.
