Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How old does a child need to be to apply to TST?
Children need to be 2 years old by September 1 to be eligible for the 2 year old program. Occasionally, children who turn two in October-January are admitted on their birthdays with the understanding that they will spend the subsequent year completing a full year in the 2 year old program. Children applying to Kindergarten should be 5 years old by September 1.
Q: Do you have an after-school program for students?
We have an Extended Enrichment Program for 2 year olds through 5th grade that runs until 6:00 p.m. This program can be used every day or on an as-needed basis. In addition, TST offers drama and Bible study as afternoon extracurricular opportunities for Lower School students and competitive sports for Middle and Upper School students.
Q: Does TST have team sports?
Yes! Beginning in 6th grade, our Middle School teams have a no-cut policy allowing beginners to try a sport for the first time.

We compete in TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools).

TST does not have separate programs for special needs students, but the individualized attention and small class size can be beneficial to students who have minor learning differences.

We want you to experience TST for yourself. Join us for a shadow visit to meet your teachers and to interact with fellow students for either a full or half day. This is a great opportunity to see if TST is the right fit for your child and family.
Parent Tours
Families interested in exploring TST may wish to schedule a parent tour. Tours are designed for parents and are given during the school day to allow you to make valuable observations about our school community, learning environment, and philosophy.
Tours last approximately 30 minutes. A typical tour begins in the Admission Office with a walking tour of our campus, a visit to classrooms in the division(s) you are interested in, a brief meeting with a teacher, division head, or principal. There are many opportunities to ask questions.
