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.”

Science doesn’t always happen inside four walls.
Our Second Graders headed to our 28-acre LaBarque Campus for a day of scientific exploration and place-based learning—observing, questioning, investigating, and learning directly from the landscape around them.
At The College School, experiences like these aren’t a break from learning. They are the learning. By returning to LaBarque throughout the year, students build a deeper understanding of the natural world, make connections across their classroom studies, and develop the curiosity that comes from discovering something for themselves.
Creeks, forests, prairies, and wetlands make for a pretty incredible classroom.
On the first day of school, Head of School Carl took a break from the usual back-to-school questions to ask our students and staff some much more important ones. Watch our video to see where our TCS community stands on a few hot topics!
