School Philosophy
              "Education is the service TLC is providing to its clients (parents.)"

  
     Parents are ultimately responsible for the education of their children. Today's parents must shop around to find the best possible education or the type of school for their children. Some will choose a private school, others will home school, while still others will chose public school. If parents opt for public education, there may be several choices: traditional, magnet, alternative, or charter schools. Parents then "hire" (with tax dollars) the school which best fits their ultimate educational goals, and they expect specific results. TLC is the school you have chosen and hired to educate your children.
        TLC provides a challenging curriculum with high academic standards, but this is not a rigid "one size fits all" education. Each year students are academically assessed. The teacher, with input from the parents and student, will write a Personal Education Plan (PEP.) PEPs will contain academic and personal goals specifically written for the needs of each individual student. If a child is below grade level, the teacher will provide the appropriate curriculum at school/home for the student to catch up. If parents choose not to implement this, the student may not be able to progress. Students who are above grade level will be given challenging assignments which will keep them motivated.

TLC School Ethos
        At Triumphant Learning Center, we rejoice in our students' ability to rise to challenges. Contrary to popular belief, self-esteem is not something that can be given. Genuine self-esteem originates from self-respect which in turn comes through academic success, civic responsibility, and correct behavior. Our aim is to provide a suitable learning environment that will enable our students to achieve their goals and rise to each challenge.

TLC Educational Focus
        TLC offers a quality education focusing on reading, writing, arithmetic, and responsibility. Reading is our highest priority because it is crucial to all other learning. Personal responsibility is also extremely important, and is taught through character training, community service, and code of conduct. TLC's goal is for each student to constantly aspire for academic and personal excellence.

Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

Excellence is not an act but a habit.
