Q. How do you feel about parental involvement at school?
 A. We love having our parents involved at TCS! Statistics show that children do better if there is a hands-on approach to their education. That’s why we rely on our families to fulfill a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per child (maximum 60 hours) throughout the school year. In order to keep tuition costs down, we rely on our parent volunteer base to do many of the jobs that we would normally pay someone to do.

 A. Tuition is normally paid in full at the beginning of the year or we also offer the option of paying on a quarterly basis.

Q. Do you offer any type of tuition assistance?
