"This is my second year at TCA and I love it!! It's the perfect balance of homeschool and social interaction of a public school. I was scared to homeschool because I'd never done it before and it seemed so daunting. But, once I got familiar with the setup and the curriculum it became very doable and even fun. I saw my son learn things that just blew my mind. Our conversations are so much richer when we can talk about things he's learning at any time during the day. Plus, my ES (assigned teacher who helps me) was super encouraging and helped me with any questions I had throughout the year. The atmosphere there is great, you feel like kids and parents want to be there and the teachers are super great. We go on field trips almost every month as a family and some with the school. We can take vacations any time of the year and even take some time off when relatives come in town. It's so flexible and enriching that I can't imagine doing it any other way now."

"We LOVE TCA!!! It is such a respectful and nurturing learning environment. This was our first year there and I have to say that it has exceeded our expectations. The teachers are very responsive and available and really have a pulse on each child and where they may be struggling. And I love being such a big part of my sons education. I feel so blessed to be a part of TCA!"

"My son scored off the charts on the IQ tests, but wasn't doing anything in the public school. He would bring all his worksheets home marked "please finish". The teachers have to spend all their time with the kids who have the learning disabilities, and the kids who don't speak english. I couldn't be happier with TCA. The atmosphere is so different - the students are relatively calm and respectful, the teachers show respect for the students, there aren't the discipline problems I have seen at other schools. I have so much flexibility in his curriculum, as well as the freedom to substitute lessons or activities that are more suitable to my son's strengths. The parents of these students have made a major commitment of time to their children's education, and it shows. The school makes the best use of parent volunteers to offer an impressive range of extra curricular workshops on everything from cooking to fencing, to golf, to needle crafts, to dog training, to chess club, to Shakespeare, and the list goes on. This school is a major asset to the community, as well as a model for other charter schools nationwide."

"We just started at Classical this year and I can't imagine life without them. The parents and staff are fantastic. They offer amazing programs and their curriculum is so advanced and you can personalize it for every child. I am so glad we are a part of such a great community. I look forward to growing with them for years to come."
