Grades 9-12 Registration and Admission Procedure

YCDSB Students

Our York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) secondary schools are excited to welcome new Grade 9 students for the upcoming 2023-24 school year!

To facilitate the transition from Elementary to Secondary school, an S.1B Transitional Registration form will be distributed on November 30th to the parents and guardians of Grade 8 students currently attending a YCDSB elementary school. Please complete and submit this Google form by December 15th, to assist us in the registration process.

For families with students who are not currently attending a school in our Board but are interested in registering at a YCDSB secondary school, please register online, on or after Nov. 30th, via the ‘Register online’ link below the heading ‘Secondary (9-12) Admission Procedure’ on this page.

As Grade 8 students transition into high school next year, we know families and students will have a lot of questions and our schools are eager to answer them. That is why our high schools are hosting Open Houses for families, which are currently underway. At these Open Houses, families will be able to view and explore the abundance of opportunities and pathways available to students.
