Payment Methods
Bank Draft or Personal Cheque: Cheques and drafts should be made payable to ‘Brentwood College School’. Payments received in US funds will be exchanged to Canadian funds using the rate on the date your payment is deposited.
Credit Card: Credit card payments can be made via Plastiq, or by completing our Credit Card Authorization Form, which can be submitted to accounts@brentwood.ca.
Canadian Bank Account Holders Only
Online Banking: For students with a Brentwood account number (found on the monthly statement), ‘Brentwood College School’ can be set up as a payee under the Bill Payments section of most Canadian bank accounts.
Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD): A completed PAD Form along with a copy of a voided cheque may be submitted to accounts@brentwood.ca; this will authorize Brentwood to automatically debit funds from your Canadian bank account.
International Payments
Flywire: For international payments, Flywire is a quick and simple solution that will allow you to make payments via bank transfer or credit card in your home currency with exchange rates at a lower cost than most banks. You can track your payment during the transfer process and have access to customer support 24 hours a day.
Tour, Test, and Interview
Campus tours can be arranged most weeks Monday through Saturday, starting at 10:00 am. Please work with our Admissions Team to arrange your visit
A 30-minute aptitude test is required as part of the application process and can be administered while you visit campus, or completed off campus and proctored by a professional from outside of your family. Alternatively, we will accept the results from a Secondary School Admission Test
Candidates will have a personal interview with our Director or Associate Director of Admissions, which will last approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The interview can take place while you visit campus or we can offer a Zoom meeting as an alternative
Mainland China and Hong Kong applicants: Due to the volume of interest from these countries, applicants must sit the SSAT test and advise the Admissions Team that the exam has been taken. When accessing the test online, the applicant must nominate Brentwood where indicated to allow us direct access to the results from the SSAT website. Once the SSAT scores have been reviewed, we will inform the applicant whether they can proceed with an application.
Day student applicants: Canadian citizens living permanently in the area are eligible to apply as day students. The vast majority of day student places are offered at the Grade 8 level.
