“It would not be an exaggeration to say that The College School changed our daughter’s life. She entered third grade struggling to read, despite intensive tutoring. At The College School she received personalized reading instruction in a caring environment. After 2 years, she was reading at grade level. Now a sophomore in high school, she is taking honors and AP classes. Our daughter would not be the successful student she is today without The College School.”

TCS provides a challenging curriculum that accommodates the learning styles of our students. From the early stages of phonological awareness and decoding to fluency and comprehension, when students reach middle school, they are prepared to interact with text, make connections and read across content areas. Writing is viewed as a systematic process in which teachers model and support instruction across all grade levels.

TCS embraces an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics as access points for guiding inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take risks and persevere while engaging in experiential learning through a creative process which develops problem solving and collaboration skills. These are the innovators and leaders of the 21st century!
