You're welcome to visit us any working day between 9 AM and 6 PM, no appointment needed. That said, calling ahead helps us plan a more personalised tour just for you. Our campus is conveniently located about 25 km from Bengaluru city centre and the international airport.

We're always happy to facilitate a meeting with our Principal. To help us schedule this properly, we'd request parents to arrange a prior appointment through your child's class teacher, who will coordinate a convenient time for you both.

Absolutely, switching from ICSE to CBSE is quite common, and we're happy to support your child through it. Students can make the switch at any grade level except Grade 10 and Grade 12, since these are board exam years. Do reach out to our admissions team, and we'll guide you based on your child's current grade.

Your child's health and safety are always a top priority for us. TACS has full-time nursing staff on campus, along with tie-ups with specialist hospitals nearby for any advanced care needed. Medicines are given only with a valid prescription and your consent, and we make it a point to contact parents immediately in any medical situation.

Your child will enjoy 6 wholesome meals a day, early morning, breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, evening snack and dinner, all cooked fresh in our own kitchen.

Great question! Admissions for the next academic year typically open in October, and seats at our Bengaluru campus fill up fast. We'd strongly encourage you to apply early by 15th December to make the most of our early bird deadline before spots run out.
