Getting Started

Please read through the information below to begin the application process of applying to TEMPO. We are excited about your interest in our school and encourage you to contact our office with any questions you may have.

Application Process

Each year, TEMPO receives applications from more students than there is accommodation. Therefore, we recommend submitting your child’s application as soon as possible. Applications are processed in order in which they are received. Most students join the school when they begin kindergarten. Seats available for students entering grades one though twelve are based on attrition.

Applications for kindergarten are processed starting in January. Kindergarten applicants and their parents will be invited for an interview. The visit will include a tour of the school and the opportunity to review our program and to ask questions.

Applications for grades one through twelve are considered for admission starting in March each year. Should positions be available, applicants will be invited to write an entrance exam. This appointment will also include a tour of the school and the opportunity to review our program and to ask questions.

Current school tuition fees and the different payment options are outlined in the document linked below.
