TLS Academy does not have a separate counselling department, but emotional support is built into daily routines and staff-student interactions.
The school supports students' social and emotional learning through its Christian-based curriculum. Each study unit (PACE) begins with a Bible verse and a character trait, such as honesty or diligence, to encourage personal growth. Students set daily and long-term goals, helping them build responsibility and self-management. Teachers (called Supervisors) and Monitors provide guidance and support in small-group settings.

TLS Academy is not a specialist SEN institution.

TLS Academy does not offer a dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme.

However, students needing extra help in English may receive support through the school’s optional learning support service, available at an added cost. Students are assessed through a diagnostic test to determine their academic level, including their English ability.

TLS Academy supports mental wellbeing through a structured, calm learning environment and small class sizes. Students work at their own pace, which helps reduce stress.

Teachers provide basic counselling support. If additional help is needed, students may be referred to PsyCare Consultants or another professional counsellor of their choice.

However, the school is committed to safeguarding and child protection as part of its EduTrust-certified status in Singapore.

1. Schedule a school visit or consultation: Parents are encouraged to make an appointment for a school visit to better understand the learning environment and curriculum. Tours are typically held during school hours, and appointments can be arranged through the admissions team. This step is important for families considering relocation.

2. Submit an application and supporting documents: Once you're ready to apply, you will need to submit the completed application form along with required documents, including previous school reports, identification papers, and any relevant medical or learning support information. There is a non-refundable registration fee of SGD 500 due at this stage.

3. Diagnostic testing and academic review: The student will complete an ACE diagnostic test to assess their academic level and determine appropriate placement. This includes English and Math components, and helps identify any learning gaps. Results are reviewed by the academic team to customize the student’s starting point.

4. Offer and enrolment confirmation: If the student meets the entry requirements, the school will issue an official offer of enrolment. A one-time enrolment fee of SGD 1,000 is required to confirm the place. Parents will then receive the full orientation package and information on starting school.

5. Apply for Student’s Pass (if needed): For families relocating to Singapore, TLS Academy will assist in the application for a Student’s Pass through ICA. Processing times and documentation requirements vary, so families should begin this step early after receiving the offer. The school is EduTrust-certified, which allows it to enroll international students under this scheme.

TLS Academy does not currently offer scholarships or financial aid programs. All tuition and associated fees are listed in full on the school's official website.

TLS Academy does not operate a formal waitlist or pool system. Due to its individualized curriculum, the school offers rolling admissions, allowing students to enroll at any time during the academic year. This flexible approach accommodates families who may be relocating or seeking mid-year entry. Currently, the school has capacity to accept new students without delay.
