Who Thrives at The College School
TCS is especially powerful for curious, capable children who thrive when learning is active, meaningful and connected to the real world—and for families who want school to develop not only what their child knows, but who they are becoming.
We give children safe opportunities to take risks, make mistakes, and discover what they’re capable of.
“TCS has far exceeded my expectations in providing an education for my children. While there are more hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, it’s the way my children are taught to view the world that leaves the deepest impression. My children have learned more than just academics. They’ve learned life skills that they’ll carry with them well into adulthood.”

Our 3-year-olds took their very first field trip today to the Litzinger Road Ecology Center, and the adventure started before they even arrived with their first TCS bus ride!
A big thank you to our dear friends at Litzinger Road Ecology Center for giving our PreK children such a wonderful first field learning experience. We’re grateful for this special place, this partnership, and the many opportunities it gives our students to explore and learn outdoors.
Here’s to the first of many adventures for our youngest learners!

We hope to see you there!
What does close reading look like? Sometimes, it looks like a book overflowing with post-it notes!
As our Eighth Graders read The Book Thief, they’re learning to slow down and pay attention: annotating important passages, tracking themes and characters, asking questions, noticing patterns, and gathering evidence they can return to later.
It’s a practice that strengthens more than reading comprehension. Students are learning how to organize their thinking, support their ideas, and dig beneath the surface of a complex text.
