Academics

The TCS Co-op program includes Language Arts, Literature, Social Studies, Math, Science, Spanish, Arts, Cooking, Poetry, Dance, and Drama. We believe that the exposure to these concepts, together with a pressure-free environment and respect for each child’s readiness, fosters proficiency without taking away the love of the learning process.

Our Approach to Learning

Our approach to learning is to treasure the open mind. Our teachers present open ended problems to the students and accept that there may be several ways to get to the end result. Unlike in traditional settings, our program fosters the children’s confidence in finding the answers for themselves, with the teacher’s support. Teachers have deep respect for each student’s gifts and uniqueness. Each child is met where they are in all our learning material (regardless of age), making this a personalized and immersive program.

Small Class Sizes

Meeting each student where they are and fostering a cooperative and engaging learning environment is only possible in small class sizes. Our student to teacher ratio is 5:1, with a maximum class size of 10 students.

Play Time

The social and emotional learning that happens during unstructured playtime is essential for all children. In our program, play and imagination are considered just as important as any other subject (and sometimes more!). Children enjoy unstructured playtime, including in our outdoor playground, three times per day.
