At TES we welcome children from around the globe every year, who arrive with a wide range of educational backgrounds. To ensure consistency of academic and social development within our classrooms, a child’s assessment level will be determined by their chronological age.
Please refer to the table below to understand where your child aligns prior to submitting an application.
