It has been amazing to see my son come out of his shell, make new friends, and learn so many new things after just one year. His teachers know him so well, and he talks about how much he loves them all the time. There are tons of extracurriculars, and I'm shocked at how many interesting opportunities they offer (compared to when I was in school). Younger students spend a lot of time at Smith Playground and the TPS Garden, which has led my son to take an interest in nature and being outdoors.

My son was in Preschool at TPS this year and had an incredible experience. His teachers knew him so well and were able to support him and challenge him in all the right ways. It is also a wonderful community of families to be a part of. We are so glad we chose to send him to TPS for PS-8!

Our oldest is graduating this year (2021) and our youngest is in 5th grade. They've both been at TPS since they were in Pre-K. I'm also an alumnus of the school. While a lot has changed since I was a student at TPS, it has improved for the better! TPS is truly a special place that challenges kids bo...
