Student Admissions Policy

Overseas Applicants

Overseas applicants may be granted conditional acceptance based upon previous student progress reports but an admission test will be required once the pupil reaches Macao.

Parents needing further information are encouraged to contact the school office at (853) 2853 3700.

Deadline: Students currently in the enrolment area (currently attending a school in Macao) will not be considered for enrolment for the current school year after March 31. After March 31, acceptance will only be for the subsequent school year commencing in September.

Admissions Acceptance

Students must meet the admissions criteria to be eligible for admission.

Priority is given to the siblings of students who are already enrolled at TIS.

TIS has no financial or other interest in any nursery or pre kindergarten facility and has no arrangement with any such facility to provide guaranteed or priority admission to their students.

Accepted students are required to confirm their enrollment by paying a deposit according to the current Fee Schedule within ten days.

Admissions and Placement

Students joining our Pre-Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten classes must reach the ages of 3, 4 and 5 (respectively) by 31 December of the year of entry.
