How to Apply

Follow these steps to apply for admission to Johnathan Academy.

Eligibility

Johnathan Academy welcomes applications from students entering Grades 8 through 12. Both domestic and international students are encouraged to apply.

Required Documents

  • Online application form (the student's legal name exactly as on the passport or identity document)
  • Official transcripts: one from each school attended in the last two school years, stamped by the school, as a PDF or photo (PDF preferred); please bring the paper originals when you enrol
  • Certified English translations of official documents that are not in English
  • Passport bio page or government-issued photo ID (international students)
  • Proof of Permanent Residency or Refugee status (domestic students who are not Canadian citizens)
  • Optional: proof of English proficiency (IELTS 6.0 overall, at least 5.5 in writing and no band below 5.0, or equivalent); medical insurance policy or BC Services Card if you already have one; personal statement or letter of intent; recommendation letters (up to two)

Start Your Application

Upload your passport or ID and we will read the name, date of birth and more from it — just check and confirm instead of typing them in.

Applications are accepted year-round, but places in a given term are limited and are filled in the order complete applications are received. A complete application is the one that gets assessed — an incomplete file simply waits.

About the Documents

The Required Documents list above is everything a complete application needs; items marked optional are welcome but not required. You can upload every document on the Upload documents step of the online form, or after submitting from the link in our email or on the lookup page (email + application number).

Missing translations are the most common reason a file sits unassessed. If your transcripts are in Chinese, arrange the translation before submitting rather than after being asked.

No payment is needed when you apply: the application fee will be collected together with tuition.

How It Proceeds

1. Submit the online form and upload your documents 2. Assessment — academic record, English level, and fit for the grade applied to 3. Interview — with the student, and with parents where they are available; conducted online for applicants outside Canada 4. Decision and offer — issued in writing, with the fee schedule 5. Confirmation — a place is held once the deposit is received 6. Enrolment — course selection, and where needed, homestay and study permit support

Timing

Apply early for September entry. Families applying from outside Canada should allow additional time for a study permit — that timeline is set by IRCC, not by the school, and it is the step most likely to delay a start date.

Transferring In

Students transferring from another BC school, from elsewhere in Canada, or from an overseas system are assessed on the credits already earned. Course selection for the coming year is planned as part of the offer, not after arrival, so that graduation requirements stay on track.
