A Preschool - Grade 8 Learning Community
Why TCS is Different
Challenge + Joy
When you walk into a TCS classroom, you'll see students building, debating, writing, experimenting, and solving problems together. They're often having a lot of fun, too. That's the point. When children are genuinely interested in what they're doing, they don't just learn the answer. They learn how to figure things out.
Built for Childhood
At TCS, students don't have to grow up faster. Because we stop at eighth grade, our teachers, classrooms and resources are focused on the years when children are figuring out who they are, how they learn and what they're capable of. There is time to be challenged, time to play, time to make mistakes and time to try again.
You're Known Here
At TCS, a teacher knows when a student has something to say but isn't quite ready to raise their hand. They know who needs a little encouragement and who needs to be pushed a little further. Students know one another across grade levels, too. Community Time, Big and Little Buddies, shared traditions and everyday interactions make TCS feel less like a collection of classrooms and more like a community.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Ask a TCS graduate about their favorite memories, and there's a good chance you'll hear about a camping trip, a project or something that happened outside the classroom. Our Outdoor Education Program has been part of TCS for nearly 50 years. Students also use Midtown Atlanta as a classroom, visit museums and cultural institutions, pursue their interests through Middle Grades clubs, and tackle real problems through project-based learning. These experiences stick with them.
Prepared for the Future
Our graduates go on to all kinds of high schools—public and independent, traditional and progressive, large and small. More than 90% percent are admitted to their first-choice high school. But when alumni talk about what TCS gave them, they talk about knowing how to ask for help, speak up, make friends, handle challenges, and walk into a new place believing they belong.
