Interview:

If and when required, candidates will need to successfully pass a face-to-face interview, which is conducted in the English language and will assess basic academic competencies, general knowledge, confidence, and thought process. The Principal or Headmistress will interview all candidates before acceptance as part of the enrolment process.

TNG Registrar will schedule a face-to-face interview, for those candidates who will pass the assessment test,   and inform parents about the schedule of a face-to-face interview.

Campus:

Placement may be offered at any campus of TNG according to the availability of the program, seat, and area where the candidate resides.

Parents must provide and update the school should the circumstances change. Records of previous medical treatments, allergies, and vaccination must be provided at the time of registration.

TNG is a mainstream school hence we are unable to accept children with special needs. Candidates must be physically, mentally, intellectually, and physiologically fit.  We hope the parents of Special Children understand the limited capabilities and resources of TNG school.
