Interview Information (2026)

As you may know, we interview every student who sends in a completed application. This means that our interview sessions are spread out over a few weeks. Please see the below information regarding the upcoming interview sessions. 

Interview Scheduling:

Interview groups have been organized based on students’ elementary schools. Please locate your school’s name on the schedule and note the corresponding interview date.

Our teaching team will be interviewing over 140 students this year. For this reason, rescheduling will only be possible for emergency or unavoidable situations.

Location and Arrival:

All interviews will be conducted in person at Tupper Secondary School 419 East 24th Avenue

• Interview sessions run from 3:30–4:45 p.m. (end times may vary slightly between 4:45 and 5:00).

• Please arrive at least 5 minutes early and meet inside the main entrance off 24th Avenue.

• A few senior Tupper Mini students will greet applicants at the entrance and provide name tags.

What to Expect:

• Interviews consist of 4–5 individual and group activities to help us see applicants in a variety of classroom-style situations. Applicants should be prepared to think, discuss, listen, and write. 

• Most importantly, applicants should be themselves. We are looking for a variety of well-rounded students. 

• The interview will include an individual written component, so applicants should bring a pen or pencil.
