TCPS is a school that truly embodies its mission of developing curious and creative students of character. As a former teacher at TCPS, I can speak to the mutual respect that faculty and families have with each other and the engaging curriculum that encourages student's strengths and various learning styles. My daughter currently attends TCPS, and we can't imagine her anywhere else. She has developed a core group of friends, starting in Kindergarten, and loves all of the teachers. We know she is gaining knowledge, skills, and is part of a collective that values her for who she is. The instruction is rigorous yet without pressure. The annual, student-crafted 'Big Event' is unique to the school, as a creative, project-based, in-depth exploration of a specific subject. TCPS is an incredible learning space for children to grow, gain confidence, and develop core values of integrity, kindness and empathy. We're so grateful for TCPS!
Our daughter has been at this school since Kindergarten and she is now in 5th grade. Every single year has been great for us! This school shines...with it's small class sizes and tight knit community feel. The staff truly feel like family to us, and our daughter is thriving, both educationally and socially. She feels safe and accepted at this school. She has been exposed to a well rounded curriculum including a robust science program. She also takes spanish, music, and art. Overall, this school has been amazing! We are so thankful it goes up to 8th grade so that we don't have to worry about which middle school to put her in. The middle school program is stellar and we feel confident that it will be the right fit for our daughter next year.
This is my daughter's second year at TCPS. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible this school is. It is a community that cares about the whole child--getting to know them, how they learn, what sparks their enthusiasm, where they need extra attention.
The warmth of the administrative staff, including Principal Donny Kim, was a huge draw. From my daughter's first tour there, he made an incredible effort to connect with her, and to learn about her. Before enrolling, I sat in on an incredible Language Arts 6th grade class, and a History class. What I saw were small (tiny) groups of kids that behaved more like cousins than classmates-- all were interacting, participating, and engaged. The teachers knew each well, intimately even--such as knowing each of their pets' names, & who had which siblings in what grades. It was just obvious that this was a close community.
Our experience has been incredible. My daughter loves her school, and is getting an incredible academic experience.
