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. Admissions Process
High School (G10–G11)
Step 1: Info Session Registration. Families register for a scheduled information session and attend it as the first step in the process. In parallel, students complete a student English proficiency evaluation as part of the initial screening. This step helps staff understand language readiness and program fit before proceeding.
Step 2: Application and Required Documents. The next step is to submit the TCS student application form along with transcripts and attendance records from the past two years. The school also notes that additional profiles are optional but strongly recommended, such as recommendation letters and evidence of extracurricular activities to provide a fuller view of the applicant.
Step 3: Interview. Applicants participate in a student interview with the Principal and a separate parent interview with TCS representatives. The interviews assess communication, motivation, and alignment with the school's approach and values.
Step 4: Acceptance and Enrolment. If offered, families confirm enrolment by paying a deposit and submitting required enrolment documents listed in the offer letter to finalize registration.
Middle School (G7–G9)
Step 1: Info Session Registration. Families register for an information session and attend it; an English workshop is scheduled concurrently with the info session in this track. This helps gauge language readiness and ensure parents and students understand the program.
Step 2: Application and Required Documents. As with the high school track, demonstrate readiness by submitting the application form, transcripts, and two years of attendance records. Optional but strongly recommended are additional profiles (evidence of extracurricular activities and up to two recommendation letters) to round out the applicant profile.
Step 3: Interview. The middle school process includes a student interview (a 5-minute English self-introduction during the interview with an English teacher) and a parent interview with TCS representatives. This step evaluates language use, presentation, and fit with ELF/Jena-informed inquiry learning.
Step 4: Acceptance and Enrolment. An offer letter is issued if the applicant is accepted; enrolment is confirmed by paying the deposit and submitting the required documents listed in the offer letter to complete registration.

3) Scholarships
The official TCS Experimental Education site does not publish information about scholarships, merit-based awards, or need-based financial aid. There is a Tuition & Fees page that covers refund policies and agency-related fees, but no dedicated scholarships section or guidance on applying for financial aid is provided publicly on the site. Families seeking financial assistance should contact Admissions to confirm whether any internal scholarship programs or external aid options exist and to learn about potential eligibility.

TCS Experimental Education is a middle school and high school located on the NTNU Linkou campus in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The school sits on the National Taiwan Normal University Linkou campus, about 17 km from downtown Taipei, and shares facilities such as a 500-seat auditorium, biology and chemistry labs, and a large library. The High School program is run in cooperation with the Canadian Ministry of Education (British Columbia) and offers a dual diploma from the Taiwanese education authorities and BC, while the Middle School program is developed with NTNU based on the Jenaplan philosophy, combining inquiry-based learning with Friday experiential activities. The site emphasizes a bilingual learning environment, and its facilities include modern classrooms, extensive IT infrastructure, and access to NTNU's broader campus resources and spaces. This combination supports project-based, experiential learning across both school stages.
