1) Shadowing visit (Not applicable during summer months)
The student visits the school for one full day, and then schedules a second visit at the recommendation of the teachers
and admissions team. The student will be shadowing one or two students during the day as they attend classes. Parents
schedule a meeting with our Business Director during the first visit.
2) Parent interview
The parent interview occurs during the first visiting day with the Admissions Coordinator and the Business Director. The
interview provides a chance for the family to ask in-depth questions about being a part of the school. Parents are a critical
part of our school community. If a student is admitted, parents are asked to sign a contract regarding fundraising and
participation in our governance system. We look forward to working with both parents and their children.
3) Application
If the admissions coordinator, teaching team, student, and parents decide to move forward with the application, then the
formal process begins. Parents and student complete and submit the application within the Blackbaud myschool app. In
addition to the application, a copy of the student’s current transcripts and two letters of recommendation are required
(at least one by a teacher). Once all materials are received, the application is considered complete.
4) Applicant-Teacher Interview
The student is formally interviewed by a member of the teaching staff. We focus on students as quality and collaborative
workers and on their ability to become active citizens in our school community. Because of this we ask that students bring
examples of work that they are proud of or that illustrate activities or subjects they are passionate about. Examples include,
but are not limited to, work that showcases academic or artistic work, group projects, sports, community service, travel
experience, dance, theater and any other areas the student is passionate about.
5) Faculty review and Interviews
The application, references, and transcripts are reviewed by the admissions coordinator and teaching staff to determine if the
school can meet the academic needs of the student. If the teachers feel TNS is a good fit for the student, the family is notified
that they are accepted for enrollment. If the teachers do not feel they can meet the student’s needs, the process ends and the
family is notified by the Admissions Coordinator.
6) Next steps upon admission
The family completes the contract and sets up their tuition account within our online system. There is a non-refundable deposit
of ₹2000 required at the time of signing. The deposit is applied to tuition. Families may also apply for financial
aid at that time.
7) Enrollment
Upon enrollment, there is a three month trial period to see if the school meets the student’s needs, and to assess if the student
is meeting the Student Agreements and the family is fulfilling the terms of the Enrollment Contract. After three months the
student is either accepted fully to the school, given an extended trial period, or asked to leave the school.
