Remember, GOOD TASTE IS ALWAYS IN FASHION.

All students are expected to demonstrate good behavior and respect at all times. Toys and unnecessary items brought to school will be confiscated and returned to a parent at a later time. Students will adhere to the Telesis Discipline Code as outlined in the Student Handbook. Telesis Preparatory Academy is a Character First! school and all students are expected to demonstrate good character at all times and the 49 Character First! character qualities. Common sense is the most important ingredient of good character.

Students are enrolled to Telesis Preparatory Academy based upon public lottery which begins with a completed application submitted to the office via email, fax, or U.S. Mail. Application can be obtained by printing it from the Telesis website under the Admissions tab. This application needs to be completed in full before a student’s name can be entered into the public lottery for an available seat. Because Telesis Preparatory Academy operates a developmental academic program, students are placed on our campus in ways to benefit the academic progress of each student providing them the best possible potential to learn, not just available seating on our campus.
