Middle School
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Our goals for all of our courses are to foster independent thinking, encourage in-depth exploration of the content, develop academic habits of mind and skills in collaboration and communication. Our Middle School students are prepared for the next chapter in their school lives.
Our Middle School centers our learning on developing a personal relationship with each child to understand their personal needs and thus design lessons to match those needs.
Students use interactive whiteboards and laptops or computers in providing student involvement, guided learning and research. Collaborative learning of working in pairs and hands on group projects and experiments is also provided. Students are encouraged to explore different ways of solving problems to enhance their thinking. Students learn the art of organization, note-taking and acquire knowledge on using online learning sites such as Google Classroom.
Our faculty at TLCS have always been one of our outstanding and unique benefits. All teachers are specialists who teach in their major curriculum area. They are valuable assets enabling us to offer outstanding total school experience for our students.
