ADMISSIONS

OUR Procedures and Guidelines

At AMES Barrie, admission preference is given to Ahmadi Muslim students due to limited space availability. The maximum number of enrolments per class varies depending on the size of the classroom. In the event that the number of applications exceeds the maximum available spots for a given class, admission will be based on a random selection process. To ensure fairness, a computer-based random generator will be used to determine which applicants will receive an offer of admission

New students
  • One-time Registration Fee: $500
  • First Month Tuition Fee: $285
  • First Month’ School Bus Fee (if applicable): $190
Regular students
  • Tuition Fee: $285/ month (10 months)
  • School Bus Fee: $190/ month (10 months)

Note: Students who are children of Waqifeen (life devotees) are required to pay all relevant school fee. However, an application for fee reimbursement can be made through National Markaz

  • To be eligible to attend in September, your child must be 4 years old by December 31 of that year. This means that if your child’s birthday falls between September and December, they will begin school shortly before turning four
  • AMESB will begin accepting applications for Kindergarten admissions in January of each year
  • To register for the admission process in Kindergarten, parents will be required to fill out an online [application form] 
  • The application deadline is May 31 of each year
  • In June, parents will receive an email confirming their child’s admission along with an application form to be filled out and returned to the school by the end of June
  • Parents must submit all necessary supporting documents before the end of June (please refer to the list of required documents)
  • Priority admission will be given to students who have siblings already enrolled in AMESB
  • If a parent does not accept the Offer of Admission within the specified period, the spot will be offered to another applicant

To register for the admission process in Grade 1 to 5, parents will be required to fill out an online [application form] . For applicants who apply for Grades 1 to 5, their names will be placed on the waiting list, and they will only be contacted when a spot becomes available in the grade they applied for. Priority consideration will be given to applicants on the waiting list who have a sibling already enrolled in the school and students on the previous year’s waiting list

Please note that the school’s admission policy does not allow for the acceptance of visiting students or individuals without legal status

If former AMESB students wish to re-enroll and a vacancy is available, they will need to complete the entire admission process again. However, those students who transfer to Hifz schools and complete their program will be granted re-admission to AMESB

To confirm admission at AMES, the following documents are required for enrollment

  • A copy of the applicant’s birth certificate
  • A copy of the applicant’s Health card
  • A copy of the applicant’s Immunization Record
  • The most recent original School Report Card
  • Documents to prove the legal status in Canada
  • A copy of the adoption documentation if the child is adopted
  • The legal document to show the foster relationship with the applicant, if the child is in foster care
  • Documents to prove custody, if applicable
  • A signed Registration Form by both parents, except in cases where one parent is deceased
  • In the case of divorced or separated parents, the parent who applied for admission must obtain a signed copy of the Registration Form from the other parent

Due to the absence of a Special Needs Education Program at AMESB and for the best interest of the applicant, students with special needs as communicated by their parents cannot be offered admission, as AMESB cannot fulfill or support their needs. Furthermore, if a classroom teacher determines that a student enrolled in AMESB requires specialized or individualized support, the parents will be required to transfer the student to a public school that can provide the necessary support

  • For two children of the same family at the AMESB, there is no fee discount
  • For three children of the same family at the AMESB, the third child can get a 25% Tuition Fee discount. The bus Fee is charged in full
  • For four children of the same family at the AMESB, the fourth child can get a 50% Tuition Fee discount. However, the full bus fee is still charged
  • We do encourage families to pay full fee for their third or fourth child if they can afford it, as it will support the school

Note: If a family is facing any financial hardship they can contact the AMESB Board Chair

If you need assistance with covering the AMESB fee for your children, please complete the Application Form for grants.

While submitting an application does not guarantee a grant, we encourage you to apply. Please note that this application process is independent and not affiliated with the Ta’lim department, school board, or the school

Bus transportation is available for AMESB students for those residing in Bradford, Innisfil, Barrie, and surrounding areas. Additionally, a bus tracking link will be shared with parents to provide real-time live updates on the bus location. It is expected that all students who use the bus will behave in a safe and respectful manner and follow the instructions of the driver and AMESB. If a student repeatedly misbehaves on the bus despite warnings, their bus privileges may be revoked
