Application Process
Thank you for your interest in applying to Nanaimo Christian School! We look forward to connecting with you to answer your questions.
We’re excited that you’re considering joining with us in this wonderful journey of Christian education!
​
For the 2025-26 school year, NCS is currently full for new applications in Kindergarten - Gr. 5. We may have a few openings in Middle School (gr. 6-8) and High school (gr. 9-12) for students that don't require any learning support, are at grade level, and can provide a pastoral reference.
As a result, we are taking a pause on tours while we process the high volume of current applications.
Timeline (upcoming school year)
-
January -- Begin processing applications for existing NCS students
-
February -- Begin processing applications for new prospective students
-
May 1 -- Recommended registration deadline (K-12). Applications can be submitted at any time and will be processed dependent upon available space.

Please note: Families with students in our waiting pool will receive a call from the NCS admissions office to discuss options.
