Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a place at TIMS?
Start by booking a personal visit so you can see the classrooms and meet the team. After the visit you can submit the application form, which you can download from the Apply page, or write to admissions@tims-frankfurt.com.
When should we apply?
Places are limited, so it is worth enquiring as early as you can, especially for the Toddler Group. Contact the school office to ask about current availability for your child’s age group and preferred start date.
Does my child need to speak English?
No. Many children arrive with no English at all and pick it up naturally through daily routines, songs, stories and play. Teachers support each child individually while they settle in.
