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.

 

Home of the Visionaries, where we cultivate curiosity, character, and a
commitment to shaping a better world.
