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.
TLC's published mission and vision state the school supports character training and the development of social skills as part of student development. The website also describes partnering with parents and spiritual mentoring as part of students' personal development. The faculty page notes weekly professional development for staff and a diverse core teaching team, which the school presents as part of its approach to student growth. The site does not, however, publish a named SEL curriculum, a dedicated SEL coordinator role, or specific classroom programmes labelled explicitly “SEL.”
The school's public website does not publish a Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or detail specific learning-support programmes. The site does not list which types of SEN it can support and does not describe itself as a specialist SEN institution. For parents seeking clarification the site provides a contact route through the school office; therefore families are directed to contact the school directly for up-to-date SEN information.
TLC's public website does not describe a dedicated English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL/ESL) programme, nor does it list specific EAL staff or withdrawal-language classes. There are no pages on the site that set out an EAL policy or structured language-support pathway. For language-support queries the school's contact page is the advised route for parents to request current information.
The school's published communications advise that students and parents should contact the school counselor for psychological or mental-health concerns and that core/class teachers are points of contact for student welfare. In a public letter the school described arrangements during the COVID period that included online classes and active teacher contact for students' academic and welfare needs. The website does not publish a separate, detailed wellbeing policy or list named mental-health staff or structured programmes on its public pages.
TLC publishes a Statement of Nondiscrimination and states it is accredited with ACSI on its public site. The school's communications also advise reporting concerns to class teachers and to the school counselor, as described in a parent letter. However, the school does not post a formal child-protection or safeguarding policy document or a named Designated Safeguarding Lead on its public website, and such formal policy documents are not available from the site's public pages. For formal safeguarding policy text and named contacts, the site directs parents to contact the school office.
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.
