TRCS incorporates both viewpoints into our curricular and instructional approaches. We believe that
education can be lively and challenging at the same time, that teachers with strong instructional goals can
also be child-centered, that our cultural heritage can be conveyed while student interests are recognized,
and that high academic standards can be achieved while recognizing high standards of respect for every
person in the community. In every classroom we have a strong commitment to diversity and heterogeneity
and strive to see the unique talents of each student.
