Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
- Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) — The school is listed on its site as a fully accredited K–12 member school with ACSI; ACSI is an international body that provides accreditation and certification for Christian schools, indicating the school has met ACSI's standards for governance, curriculum and student support.
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) — The school's site states it is seeking candidacy for WASC accreditation; WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) is a U.S.-based regional accrediting commission whose candidacy/accreditation is commonly used by international schools to demonstrate alignment with broadly recognized academic and institutional quality standards.
No awards to the school (as distinct from awards to students) are listed on the TLC International School website for the past five years. I reviewed the school's public pages (home, “Who We Are” / Quick Facts, Our History and related pages) and found accreditation and history items but no school-level awards or prizes reported for the last five years.
Summary of what I searched and what was insufficient: I checked the school's publicly facing site content (home and About pages including “Who We Are” and “Our History”) for mentions of formal awards or recognitions given to the school itself within the previous five years; those pages document ACSI accreditation (including a note that ACSI accreditation was achieved in July 2015) and that the school is seeking WASC candidacy, but they do not list any school-level awards in the requested timeframe. If you'd like, I can expand the search beyond the school site (local press, education directories, or social channels) to look for external announcements of awards, but that would go beyond your instruction to use only information provided on the school website.
TLC International School (Dongguan) was founded in 2007 and operates an English-language, American-based K–12 programme; the school reports an early education programme (Nursery for three- and four-year-olds) through Grade 12 and holds ACSI accreditation for K5–12. The campus includes separate Kindergarten, Elementary and Secondary buildings, a cafeteria, an elementary playground, a soccer field and basketball/volleyball courts — facilities shown on the school's campus page. TLC follows standards aligned with AERO for secondary curriculum and provides an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) pathway for students whose first language is not English; Mandarin is taught as a subject at secondary level. The school's tuition and fees are published on the site's “Tuition and Fees” page (the current rates are displayed there); contact details for the admissions office are provided for any fee or enrolment queries.
