Application Deadlines
HTS accepts students on a rolling admission basis. We recommend parents apply in the fall of the year proceeding entry.
- First-Round Deadline: December 1, 2011
- Second-Round Deadline: February 15, 2012
- Applications received after these deadlines will be considered should a space become available.
- All available spaces are usually filled with first-round applicants, so it is important to complete the application process on time.
- Reminder that the SSAT occurs at HTS twice, on Saturday, November 26, 2011, and Saturday, January 28, 2012, although other sites/dates are available.
An interview will be scheduled within two weeks of receiving the completed application.
Acceptance Letters

Selection Criteria
Although strong academic skills are a requirement for entry at all
grade levels, students are not selected on the basis of academic results
alone. Involvement in the arts, athletics and community service are
also important. Teacher and/or counsellor recommendations are of great
value.
