TCS provides a challenging curriculum that accommodates the learning styles of our students. From the early stages of phonological awareness and decoding to fluency and comprehension, when students reach middle school, they are prepared to interact with text, make connections and read across content areas. Writing is viewed as a systematic process in which teachers model and support instruction across all grade levels.

TCS embraces an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics as access points for guiding inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take risks and persevere while engaging in experiential learning through a creative process which develops problem solving and collaboration skills. These are the innovators and leaders of the 21st century!

The mission of TCS is to empower children with learning differences and guide them in reaching their true potential. Our staff utilizes best practices to tailor instruction based on the needs of each student. TCS partners closely with School Psychology, in the School of Education. to provide interventions, counseling, and evaluations for our students. At TCS, you will witness “great minds” learning differently in an environment where self-advocacy and confidence are emphasized.

As a part of the University of Delaware, students benefit from progressive methods and instruction from teachers who are professional and clinical faculty members.
