Vision

The vision of TCMS is to become a technologically advanced 'back-to-basics' public charter school that includes a spectrum of academic programs, which provide expanded systems of learning to fulfill the demands of a diverse student population.

Terrace Community Middle School seeks to provide all students having a variety of learning styles and at various levels of achievement, a foundation of knowledge, which will allow them to have successful academic careers. We believe that all children can learn and that children will rise to meet the high expectations of their parents and teachers. We believe that self-esteem comes from meeting challenges and overcoming them and from confidence gained through the acquisition and mastery of skills. Therefore, we offer the students the opportunity to be challenged by a rigorous, classic core curriculum taught in a planned progression by teachers who stress abundant practice and careful feedback.

The founders believe that parental and community involvement is crucial to the success of the students and the school as a whole. Therefore, opportunities should be created for the parents and members of our community to come to our school to learn, to teach, and to work as a team with the students, teachers, administrators and directors. The Governing Board includes at least one teacher and one parent representative.

The Governing Board believes that the school should be 'family friendly'.
Furthermore, the school offers tutoring for students, as well as extra-curricular activities and programs. Parents have the opportunity (and are invited) to meet with faculty after working hours.
