At The College School, we believe in the transformative power of experiential learning.
With a commitment to academic excellence and outdoor education, we foster a vibrant community where students don’t just acquire knowledge—they apply it, developing the resilience and adaptability to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape.
Through authentic experiences, students stretch their thinking, strengthen their character, and gain the confidence to take risks and use their voices. In our close-knit community, every day offers a chance to grow stronger, braver, and more determined.
“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.”

From reflection to action! During their “Now What?” reflection following Wagon Train, one student’s idea sparked something powerful. All 27 second graders chose to create Kindness Bags to share with underhoused individuals they may encounter. Instead of receiving holiday treats for themselves during their class party yesterday, they chose to give to others, showing how a strong classroom community can turn empathy into meaningful action.
If you can think of a better (read: tastier!) way to learn about fractions than baking yummy holiday desserts, we’re all ears! Congrats to Fourth Grade on putting a delicious spin on experiential learning and sharing the results!
We’re going on a fossil hunt! 🦴
An adventure to our LaBarque Campus was an incredible journey for the Newporters as they worked in small groups to deepen their understanding of fossils, sharpen their scientific observation skills, and create detailed fossil drawings. The children confidently explored the dry creek bed, uncovering fossils hidden in the rocks and collecting three large bags full to bring back for ongoing study and discovery in the months ahead.
How lucky we are that a place we call our own has so many fossils just waiting to be discovered!
