TES is committed to providing a range of learning support services to reduce barriers to learning, allowing a student's best self to show in the classroom. Our dedicated team has training in and experience supporting students with learning disorders or associated disorders including, but not limited to: Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), Language Processing Disorder, Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and Sensory Integration (SI) Dysfunction.

While they don’t define a student's application, admissions assessments are an integral part of TES’ holistic admissions process, which aid our admissions committee in determining an applicant's academic profile and fit into our multilingual program. Interested families can refer to TES' admissions page for section and year level specific requirements.

A variety of assessment processes are used across the school according to the Section and year group applied to. These may include language assessments, cognitive ability tests, subject assessments (at secondary and high school levels), SEN assessments, an interview or a class tryout. Infant-aged children are assessed in the classroom during a class tryout session.

Each year, TES receives more applications from qualified applicants than available seats. As such, we place qualified applicants into a waiting pool for the school year in which the student applied. A student can be placed in the waiting pool only after the applicant has completed the admissions process and the application has been reviewed and recommended by the Admissions Committee. Each applicant is reviewed with all other waiting pool applicants and qualified new applicants in subsequent admissions rounds. Only applicants applying for a Semester 1 start are eligible for placement into the waiting pool. If a waiting pool candidate cannot secure a seat for the school year in which they applied, the waiting pool does not carry forward to the next school year, and the candidate must submit a new application for admission. A waiting pool is about determining which applicant is the best fit should a seat become available. We do not have a waiting list, which is a first-come, first-served approach.

Applications should be submitted after September 1 and before March 1 for the main cycle of consideration for the following school year beginning in August. After this period applications are accepted on a rolling basis but places are often limited.
