Terms and Conditions
- TIS Admissions will be determined by the Directors, with the advice of the academic staff, based on information obtained with respect to:
- The potential of the candidate to benefit from the educational program available.
- The capacity of the school to meet the educational needs of the candidate.
- The availability of places.
- Initial Year placement is determined on the basis of age and ability of the candidate. The decision of TIS in Year placement will be communicated to parents/guardians prior to acceptance. TIS continually assesses the progression and re-evaluates the development of the candidate and reserves the right to reconsider the year placement in exceptional situations as described as follows:
- Promotion from one Year to another.
- Retention in a particular Year.
- Continued enrolment at TIS will be based on academic, personal, behavioral and social/emotional aspects of a candidate’s school record.
- TIS reserves the right to deny admission or dismiss a candidate if:
- The candidate’s best interests and needs cannot be met effectively by the school’s programmes and services.
- The candidate’s behaviour is deemed to jeopardise the welfare of the school community.
- Educationally significant information is withheld from the school.
- School fees are not paid in accordance with financial regulations.
- Admission may be postponed if a year level reaches the number of 20 students. In this case, the applicant is placed on a waiting list. Qualified candidates are then accepted in order of the date of application, subject to the above conditions.
- Parents must pay the registration fee promptly and all the necessary fees on time; failure to do so will result in the student losing their place at TIS.
