Our Philosophy

"School is not a preparation for life,
school
is life." -John Dewey

Our Mission

 

TCFL is a dynamic community of inquiry that nurtures visionaries, innovators, and leaders. We equip our students with the tools they need to shape their future and make a lasting impact on the world.

 

 

Our Philosophy

 

We advocate learning that:

  • Strengthens students' basic skills and competencies such as reading, writing, and math.
  • Develops the analytical and interpretive skills needed to understand the flood of information generated in the 21st century. 
  • Broadens students understanding of their world and its diverse cultures.
  • Teaches the communication and interpersonal skills necessary to function in a world more complex and challenging than ever before.

 

 

Our Learning Environment

 

The classroom should be:

  • A WORKPLACE with a clear structure that everyone understands
  • A COMMUNITY where children gather for a common purpose: to learn
  • A LABORATORY where students explore themes through simulations of real-life situations according to the Project Based Learning model (PBL)
