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.
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 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.
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 is a private primary and secondary school, offering the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) programme and an American curriculum, culminating in an American High School Diploma.
