Three weeks ago, we found some pillbugs during a nature walk. Students decided to bring it back and keep it as a class pet. They gathered pebbles, leaves, some soil, and created ideal moisture levels to keep the bugs happy.
It just so happened that our students were already deep into an ecosystem study in World Knowledge. They were exploring habitats, predator and prey relationships, decomposers, and what living things need to survive. Suddenly, they had a living lab right in front of them.
For almost a month, they have been keeping these rolly bugs alive. Their ecosystem diorama is also almost done. Stay tuned for updates on the rolypolies and their dioramas!

“What if we had Wheel Day?”
A snack time conversation came to life last Friday. After discussions to persuade our Head of School, we listened, compromised, and created something tweet have a feeling will be a TCS tradition.
This is just one example of how TCS students have a real voice in shaping our community.

Some moments are joyful. Some moments take real courage. At TCS, every single one is an opportunity to grow, and an educator is there every step of the way.
We’d love to show you what this looks like in person. Tours are every Wednesday morning — link in bio to sign up.

This month on a cultural investigation trip, a student SpiderMan-ed his way up a rock ledge. He didn’t always know he could do that.
In December, we introduced students to bouldering for the first time. A few of them weren’t sure they could do it.
They asked to go back.
In March, we did. They were more confident, more willing to try the harder routes, quicker to encourage each other when someone got stuck.
Later that same week, on a hiking trail, one of them spotted a rock ledge and just climbed it. Nobody suggested it. Nobody helped. He just knew he could.
This is what learning looks like at TCS inside the classroom and beyond it. We don’t just take kids outside. We give them real challenges, trust them to struggle through, and watch what happens when they’re allowed to return to something until they’ve truly mastered it.
Perseverance isn’t a lesson plan. It’s what grows when children are given time, trust, and the freedom to surprise themselves.
We’re enrolling for next year. Tours every Wednesday at 9:30am. Link in bio.
