School Notes

TCS is a fully accredited private K-12 institution committed to delivering an education that empowers students to reach their highest potential. Guided by our motto, Scientia et Virtus ("Knowledge and Excellence"), we provide a 100% live virtual program uniquely tailored to each student. Through a fully customized one-on-one instructional model, we design every aspect of the learning experience to align with each learner's needs, strengths, and aspirations.
Our interactive online classrooms integrate cutting-edge tools to simulate in-person learning, combining the flexibility of virtual education with the engagement of a traditional classroom setting. This distinctive approach allows us to maintain the rigor of a top-tier academic program while offering unmatched personalization. We provide a comprehensive selection of courses, including core curriculum, advanced electives, test preparation, and concurrent undergraduate classes. Unlike most online schools, we also offer specialized opportunities in the arts, music, dance, theater, and physical education. Additionally, our Family Wellness Program, led by expert school counselors, ensures holistic support for every family in our community.
Our faculty exemplifies academic and professional excellence. Every TCS teacher is a credentialed U.S. educator, with an average of 19 years of teaching experience, and 80% hold advanced degrees. Their expertise ensures a personalized, high-impact learning environment where students thrive academically and develop into confident, well-rounded achievers.
Scientia et Virtus is more than a motto-it is our guiding principle. We are dedicated to an education defined by excellence, knowledge, and a personalized pathway to success. Following our 2025 WASC committee review, TCS earned the highest marks in all 20 accreditation categories-a testament to our commitment to academic excellence, student-centered learning, and continuous improvement.
