Step 3: The student completes the entrance assessment and/or interview (Preschool and Grade 1: interview with the Head of the grade; from Grade 2 upward: entrance test followed by interview). Step 4: If admitted, the Admissions Office issues an official Letter of Admission and tuition invoice; enrollment must be confirmed within 5 working days, the invoice paid, and all required documents submitted; once the Letter of Admission is signed and fees are paid, enrollment is completed within 2 working days.	Admissions 1. Parents begin by reviewing UTS programme information and admissions requirements on the school website. The site outlines available programmes, grade levels and general eligibility criteria. Families may contact the admissions team directly to request further clarification before applying. 2. Parents complete and submit the official application form and required documents as specified by the school. The website notes that documentation typically includes academic records and student information needed for placement consideration. 3. Applicants are required to sit a placement assessment, which may include academic testing and/or interviews depending on the grade level and programme applied for. The assessment is used to determine the student’s appropriate grade placement and programme suitability. 4. Following assessment, UTS communicates the admission decision to parents. If successful, families receive an offer letter outlining enrolment conditions, fees and required next steps. A reservation fee is required to secure the student’s place. 5. Enrolment is confirmed once required fees are paid and all documentation is completed. The school then provides onboarding information prior to the start of the academic year.
