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. Consultation
Families begin by scheduling a consultation with the Admissions Office to discuss available programs, grade placement, and the child’s suitability for TAS. This step helps determine whether the school’s curriculum and support services align with the student’s needs.
2. Required Application Documentation
Parents must submit all completed application forms, previous school records, copies of the student’s passport or ID, and other requested documents. The application is only reviewed once all materials are received.
3. Placement Assessment (if applicable)
Students may be required to complete an academic or English language assessment to determine the most suitable grade level and any additional learning support needs. This step ensures accurate placement within TAS programs.
4. Admission Decision
Once documentation and assessments are reviewed, families receive a formal admission decision. If accepted, the school provides written confirmation and details about enrollment procedures and payment deadlines.
5. Enrollment
Parents confirm their child’s place by completing the enrollment form and submitting the signed agreement. At this stage, families receive orientation and academic year information.
6. Registration Fee
To finalize enrollment, families must pay the non-refundable Registration Fee, which confirms the student’s placement and allows for an official start date.
TAS does not publicly state that it operates a waitlist or pool system.
TAS does not list formal scholarship or financial aid programs on its official website. However, the school occasionally promotes scholarship or tuition discount opportunities through its official social media channels, typically tied to specific academic years or special initiatives. These offers vary by year and are announced directly through official communications rather than a standing scholarship program.
