Apply for Incentive

If you are a student with strong ability, work ethic, and motivation, and you wish to participate in a more challenging and enriching program of instruction in high school to prepare for post-secondary education (e.g. university or college), then please consider applying for Palmer’s Incentive Program.

Please note: Only students registered to Palmer Secondary are eligible to be enrolled in the Incentive Program. As Palmer is currently at its maximum student capacity, enrolment is limited to students that live within the address catchment and transfer applications may not be approved.

Applications for the Sept 2026 Grade 8 Incentive class have now concluded. Thank you for your interest.

Applications for the Sept 2026 Grade 9-11 classes will be available from May 4-15, 2026.

Please be aware that, due to the accelerated Math and Science curriculum, students applying for the Grade 9 class must self-study and take a Math 9 and Science 9 proficiency exam in May as part of the application process. Please see Mr. Liang for more details.
