The Curriculum
At TCK Connections, we focus on establishing that safety and comfort first. We meet kids where they are in their language ability and cultural familiarity and help them figure out what is going on around them. Set up to feel as much like a regular public school class in terms of scheduling and activities, TCKC gives students a chance to go to scaled-down, safer version of school to practice and get comfortable.
Through subject-based projects and activities, students will engage in meaningful and practical learning experiences but without the pressure of a grade, they can relax and get the full benefits of their time with peers and an attentive teacher.
​
And it’s that attention by the teacher that matters most. Having a teacher trained in the specific needs of third culture kids create the program establishes TCKC on a foundation of sound pedagogy responsive to the unique needs of the students.
​
Upon first meeting a new student, Ms. Webb will conduct an intake interview to assess their needs and interests. Then, working with parents and hopefully with feedback from their classroom teachers, Ms. Webb will develop a custom curriculum to help your child achieve their goals, using their natural interests and curiosity as a foundation for learning.
​
Parents can choose the schedule and frequency that works best for their child's needs and their family's busy schedule!
It's what we all hope school can be!
