TIMS currently has spaces available in the nursery (toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years) and in the kindergarten (children aged 3 years to school age). Admissions are accepted during the school year, as TIMS operates an international community and understands that work commitments do not always align with the academic year. The new school year began on August 18, 2025. To apply, fill out the TIMS application form online by pressing the TIMS Application Form button and downloading the form to your PC/Laptop before typing in the information; to fill by hand, press the same button and print the form before completing manually. The form collects child details (name, date of birth, nationality), home language(s), and languages spoken at home, as well as parent/guardian information and other relevant details. Admission is defined by a School Contract signed by the child's legal guardians and the payment of the non-refundable Enrollment Fee of €500.
