The Admission Process

For many applicants and their parents the admission process in an independent school is a new experience. At Escuela Tlatelolco we view this as an opportunity for the school and the family to become better acquainted and to share common goals for individual students. We are delighted that you are considering La Escuela and assure you that your application will be reviewed with the greatest interest and care.

There are four steps in our admission process. All four steps must be completed before action can be taken:

1. APPLICATION

Candidates are encouraged to submit an application and life story for upper school as early in the school year as possible. If you are applying for the Montessori Program the applications must include a $100.00 processing fee.  If you are paying with a check please make it payable to Escuela Tlatelolco.  

2. TRANSCRIPT/RECOMMENDATION

A completed application must include all transcripts (upper school candidates only).

3. INTERVIEW

Prospective students will interview with an interview committee. One or more parent is required to participate in the admission process.

The admission committee will review each application as soon as the life story is complete. When a candidate is accepted, a tuition contract is required to reserve a place for your child.
