Apply to TRS

Our best advice to prospective families is, apply early. Many families are surprised to learn that our enrollment timeline begins the year before the school year in question.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR

Online applications open October 1, 2020 for the 2021-2022 school year. Completed applications received by Monday 28 December with all supporting documentation will receive first consideration. After that date applications will be considered on a rolling basis if space permits.

placement by age (Preschool & Kindergarten)

We place rising preschool and kindergarten students according to their age on August 31 in the year of admission.

Example: A child who is four years old on August 31, 2020 will be considered for placement in the preschool fours class.

priority order

As a general rule, we consider applicants in the following order:

1. Re-enrolling students
2. Siblings of current students
3. Students who are new to TRS

WAIT POOL

Once a class is fully enrolled, subsequent accepted applicants will be placed in a wait pool. As vacancies occur, we go first to our wait pool to fill openings. Many factors are taken into account when the Admissions Team decides which of the wait pool candidates will receive an offer.

PRESCHOOL CLASS PREFERENCES

Parents will be asked to rank their class choices in order of preference. If we are unable to offer the first choice of class, we will place your child where we have space, and place your child in the wait pool for your preferred class.

supporting Documentation

During the application process you'll be prompted to provide a copy of your child's birth certificate and vaccination records.

Applicants for Preschool 4s Through 5th grade: We also require a copy of your child's latest progress report and confidential teacher evaluations. The online application will guide you through the steps and provide a checklist of required documentation.

CLASS VISITS FOR elementary applicants

Applicants who have submitted completed applications by will be invited to to attend a classroom visit. This is a key part of our elementary admissions process. We take great care to ensure the visit is a positive and enjoyable experience for the visiting student.

Applicants who apply after Monday 28 December will be invited to visit only if there is a possible opening.

Kindergarten applicants are required to attend a kindergarten applicant visit, typically scheduled in January. This two-hour visit is structured like a preschool class, with center time, circle time, snack, and outdoor play.

Applicants for 1st - 5th grade are required to attend a two-day visit in a classroom with the applicant's current grade cohort. The applicant will be asked to participate in all activities to the best of his/her ability during the visit.

While the school is currently closed to visitors due to COVID-19, virtual class visits will be arranged for candidates where vacancies are available.
