We maintain the confidentiality and integrity of academic documents by providing official copies of transcripts, predicted grades, teacher and counselor recommendation letters, and institution-specific rating scales directly to colleges and universities—not to students or parents.
This practice ensures that all documents remain secure, unaltered, and tamper-free, giving receiving institutions full confidence in their authenticity. Additionally, it allows teachers to write honest and thorough recommendations, knowing that their assessments are shared only with the intended recipients.
Before submission, each college counselor carefully reviews teacher recommendation letters and CommonApp forms to ensure they accurately reflect the student’s strengths and achievements.
Grade 12 students complete a university notification form in September and then meet with their assigned college counselor to discuss the final list. The deadline to complete these notification forms is listed in the Grade 12 timeline section. After submitting the university notification form, the student meets with their college counselor to discuss relevant forms, such as the following:
The high school transcript is a common component of some university applications. Some universities will require the transcript to either be self-reported or submitted during the application process include. Others, such as several U.K. universities, will rely on predicted grades for AP or IB courses. The transcript is updated at the end of each semester.
The high school transcript includes:
The student's basic demographic information (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
Dates of attendance at TASIS England, as well as graduation date
TASIS England courses taken in grades 9-12, including semester and final grades
Credits earned for TASIS England courses
Outstanding Activities, Honors*, Awards
Grade Point Average (G.P.A.)*
*TASIS Academic Honors and G.P.A. are explained in the Upper School Handbook Grading Section. The G.P.A.'s are also uploaded shortly after the end of each semester in Maia Learning.
Students who attended another high school will need official and translated copies submitted to the Registrar.
TASIS students can request an unofficial copy of their transcript. Official transcripts are only sent to universities, scholarship programs or transfer schools.
Grade 12 students request transcripts with their college counselor according to the TASIS Final List Agreements policy.

The school profile is updated each fall and is the document that explains TASIS England to universities. The school profile is sent to most universities along with a student's transcript.

A typical component of university applications, especially American institutions, includes a school report and a counselor recommendation letter. These reports are completed by the student's college counselor and are typically submitted through MaiaLearning. These documents are confidential and are not shared with the student.
As with school report and counselor letter, the teacher recommendation letters are confidential. The letters and any accompanying forms are submitted directly to the requesting institutions and scholarship corporations.
The Registrar and AP and IB Coordinators collect predicted grades for every grade 12 student in an AP or IB class shortly after the university notification form deadline.
Grade 12 families can view predicted grades in Maia Learning two weeks after the stated deadlines for the university notification forms.
Some university application systems, such as the UCAS for the UK, require predicted grades to be submitted. Other application systems, such as most American universities, do not require predicted grades. Students work individually with their college counselor to determine what needs to be sent to each university.
