Enrolling for 2013-2014 School Year
Sunrise East accepts applications from individual students and their families, school based referrals and District based referral on an ongoing basis.
The Sunrise East program is appropriate for students desiring or requiring a smaller setting with more individualized attention to social-emotional as well as academic needs while working on completion of their grade 8 or 9 schooling. Typical age ranges for new students are 13-15 years of age. We do not enrol new students who are 16 years of age or older.
The process of enrolment consists of contacting the school, obtaining an application form, attending a scheduled intake meeting with staff, applicant and student guardian/parent. Offers of acceptance will generally be made promptly upon receipt of relevant documents and files from the student's previous school. It is important to note that new students will require an Individualized Education Plan from their previous school. More information on this will be provided during the intake meeting.
