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.”

A little messy. A lot of math. And some seriously hands-on science!
Inspired by the book How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, our First Graders set out to investigate a big question: Can a pumpkin`s size, color, or number of ribs help predict how many seeds are hiding inside?
Armed with predictions and plenty of curiosity, students headed to @rogersproducewebster to select pumpkins of different sizes. They measured circumferences, examined colors, counted ribs, and then got their hands dirty scooping out the seeds!
Working in small groups, students counted seeds by tens, used hundreds charts, and compared their findings to see whether their predictions held up.
The grand total? More than 3,000 pumpkin seeds counted! And their data suggested that pumpkins with more ribs may have more seeds inside.
And the best part? They even toasted and tasted their research!

Big ideas. Small businesses. Lots of learning!
Our Third Graders put their entrepreneurial skills to the test during Market Day, a much-anticipated experience that`s part of their larger Community theme.
From dreaming up products and original games to determining prices, developing marketing strategies, managing inventory, calculating sales tax, making change, and tracking profits, students experienced firsthand what it takes to run a business.
Market Day is a wonderful example of how learning comes together at The College School, where academic skills have real-world purpose and our students have opportunities to put their ideas into action.
