Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions Step 1: Submit Enrollment Application. A completed application form is required for each child, with an application fee payable. The Admissions team will contact parents within 5 working days of receiving the completed form and admissions fee. The application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The application form relates to the school year for which the pupil is applying, and submission of an application and payment of the application fee does not guarantee a place at the school. Step 2: Entrance Competency Assessment. An assessment will be scheduled as soon as possible. Parents will be notified via an initial email, followed by confirmation five days prior to the assessment. The assessment is divided into two parts, both of which will take place on the same day: Part 1: Digital assessments to determine the pupil's English, maths and reasoning abilities; Part 2: Interviews with parents and the pupil. Step 3: Enrolment. The Admissions team will contact parents within 10 working days to inform them of the assessment results and the school's decision. If results merit an offer of place, parents will receive a Letter of Acceptance for their child(ren) via email accompanied by a checklist of items which must be provided to confirm the applicant's place at the school. Step 4: Registration for Admission Counseling. Step 1: Enrol your child at Admission on the website and fill in the online form. Step 2: The school admits pupils who are prioritised and meet the admission conditions. Step 3: Pupils take the entrance exam. Step 4: Parents complete the admission procedures for pupils who have passed the entrance exam. Step 5: Pupils enter officially as notified by the school. Step 5: Required Documents and medical/admission criteria. Applicants must complete the previous year's academic programme before admission or complete the first-semester programme for those entering in the second semester. The student should not have an infectious disease or a dangerous congenital disease. The school's current support systems and facilities are unable to accommodate pupils with special needs.	Admissions 1. Parents begin by completing the online registration form on the TH School website, calling the admissions hotline, or visiting the campus in person to register their child. After the form is received, an Admissions Officer will contact the parents. 2. The school arranges an entrance assessment, which can be done either online or on campus. For Early Years, children join an age-appropriate play-based interview in English with the Kindergarten Principal. For primary, students take Maths and English tests and have an English interview, combined with a review of previous school records. For Lower and Upper Secondary, students complete a CAT4 cognitive test, an English writing task and an English interview, with results considered alongside prior academic performance. Before the assessment date, parents are to email required documents. 3. Within five working days of the assessment, if the school has received complete documentation, TH School informs parents of the results. If the student meets requirements and a place is available, the school issues an offer letter by email. In some cases, this may be a conditional offer with specific recommendations to support the student’s learning. Class placement is made according to year of birth, although a student may occasionally be placed in a lower grade where prior performance or English level suggests this is more appropriate. If classes are full, the student may be placed on a waiting list or invited to re-apply after 3–6 months if entry requirements are not yet met. 4. Parents confirm acceptance of the offer by carefully reading the conditions in the offer letter and paying the required enrollment and registration fees. The school then guides families through the next steps, including submitting original versions of previous report cards, a certified copy of the birth certificate or passport, a 4×6 portrait photo and (for Grade 10 entry) the lower secondary graduation certificate. At this stage, families also follow the school’s tuition-fee payment schedule for the upcoming school year. 5. Before the official first day of classes, new students and their parents are invited to attend an orientation day at the campus. Families will receive practical guidance about daily routines, meet key teachers and staff, and have time to become familiar with classrooms and shared spaces. The school also provides student uniforms and beginning-of-year stationery to help children prepare for the start of term.
