Educational Environment:
The Child's Primary School offers a curriculum that is consistent and cumulative, beginning with the kindergar
ten program and culminating in graduation at the end of grade eight. This success-oriented program is designed to be supportive and challenging, and to focus on teaching the student how to learn. Students feel safe to take risks in an atmosphere that nurtures their self-esteem and teaches responsibility for their own actions.
Inherent in the TCPS program is a celebration of the wonders of life and the excitement of learning. Indepth learning is encouraged, allowing for an exploration of both the abstract (theoretical) and concrete (hands-on) aspects of a subject. In addition to the acquisition of excellent academic skills, TCPS promotes the learning of life skills (such as communication and problem solving) and developing positive interpersonal relationships.
The Child's Primary School believes that a school should have a role in a family's life, not just the student's academic life. Therefore, the student's whole family is welcomed and considered an important addition to the school. Each and every decision - whether it be in regard to curriculum, fundraising, or admission policy - is guided by our basic values and philosophy... the child is primary.
Extended Day Program:
An Extended Day Program is available for parents who are not able to collect their kids before 6pm. After normal school closure at 3.15 children take part in group work, outide activities as well as being able to prepare their homework for the next day.
