Taipei European School

Each year, TES receives more applications from qualified applicants than available seats. As such, we place qualified applicants into a waiting pool for the school year in which the student applied. A student can be placed in the waiting pool only after the applicant has completed the admissions process and the application has been reviewed and recommended by the Admissions Committee. Each applicant is reviewed with all other waiting pool applicants and qualified new applicants in subsequent admissions rounds. Only applicants applying for a Semester 1 start are eligible for placement into the waiting pool. If a waiting pool candidate cannot secure a seat for the school year in which they applied, the waiting pool does not carry forward to the next school year, and the candidate must submit a new application for admission. A waiting pool is about determining which applicant is the best fit should a seat become available. We do not have a waiting list, which is a first-come, first-served approach.
