Learning at TCCS is not confined to the four walls of the classroom as many teachers seek to inspire and engage their students with enriching educational field and study trips throughout the year.

In addition, students participate in local and regional competitions in Math Olympics, Art Festival, Speech Meet and Writing. A rich Performing Arts program is evident through the many grade level and school productions showcased during the year. There are many opportunities for students to showcase their God-given talents at TCCS!
