Inquiry Form

Applying for the 2024-25 School Year

We are still accepting applications for the 2024-25 school year, subject to availability. Please contact us at admissions@tessais.org to inquire about current openings.

Applying for the 2025-26 School Year

  • Applications for the 2025-26 school year will open on October 1st, 2024.
  • Priority Consideration: The deadline for priority consideration for the 2025-2026 school year is Friday, January 10, 2025. Applications submitted by this date will receive first consideration for available spots, ensuring a higher chance of securing enrollment in your preferred program. We strongly recommend that families apply early to save their child’s spot, as some classes fill up quickly.
  • Rolling Admissions: At Tessa International School, we offer rolling admissions to meet the needs of the families we serve. Admission decisions are typically made within a few weeks after the application process is completed. Once an enrollment contract is offered, families are asked to submit it within two weeks to secure their spot, as classroom availability is limited.
