Students are enrolled at TLS Academy on a full-time basis for each academic year. Each academic year consists of four (4) terms of ten (10) weeks each. It begins from the start of a calendar year to the end of the same calendar year. We generally follow the Singapore public school terms and holidays.
As the primary curriculum is in individualised independent-learning format, students may enrol at any time throughout the academic year, offering flexibility to families seeking an international primary & secondary school in Singapore.
Details of the holidays for the current primary and secondary school year are outlined in the Calendar (Schedule F). A new calendar will be issued at the beginning of each new academic year.

DELIVERY STRUCTURE
An Individualised student-centred approach to learning
Students are assigned to a learning centre irrespective of their age or curriculum level. The Learning Centre is headed by one Supervisor (equivalent of a teacher) assisted by one or more Monitors (equivalent of teaching assistants).
The ACE® guideline allows one Supervisor and one Monitor to manage up to thirty students. TLS Academy’s current staff-to-student ratio is well within the allowable guideline at 1:8.
Students are taught independent learning in the Learning Centre, with the Supervisor inspiring achievement and providing academic guidance while the Monitor looks after non-academic requests and administrative support.
In essence, the curriculum PACEs are the teachers, and the students are trained to be active learners. There is minimal group teaching (apart from supplementary curriculum), allowing maximum one-on-one support (on a time-shared basis) as and when required by individual students.
Students are also expected to do PACE work at home if they have not completed their daily set goals.

COURSES
How our curriculum is structured
For classification purposes, our programme may be divided into “Courses” according to grade levels. However, due to the individualised nature of our curriculum, unlike conventional education systems, a student may be at different levels in different subjects and may progressively change levels on a continuum throughout the school year.
Thus these “Courses” (curriculum levels) and their subsidiary “Modules” (subjects) are not conducted separately but in unison.
