NEUCHÂTEL JUNIOR COLLEGE
APPLYING TO NJC
Neuchâtel Junior College selects students on the basis of their academic performance, character, interests, talents and potential. Successful applicants are those who seek to challenge and advance themselves through a transformational experience of intense personal and intellectual growth. The College favours applicants who respond positively to new challenges and who express sufficient maturity, international curiosity and personal responsibility to embrace this experience.
Early Application Option for 2021-22 Admission
Students completing grade 10 in June 2020 are eligible to apply to NJC for September 2021 as part of NJC’s early admission option. The early admission application deadline is June 26, 2020. Successful candidates who apply along this timeline will know their admission status by no later than July 31, 2020.
Successful early applicants benefit from the knowledge that they have secured a space at NJC well in advance of the traditional application period, and without financial obligation, which is helpful in planning the academic path forward. As a single-grade school, the early admission option is designed to provide families with maximum flexibility while supporting the school in its planning.
To ensure the academic preparedness of successful early applicants for NJC’s program, the early offer of admission will be conditional upon the submission of a positive report card in the fall of 2020.
