- Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on September 19, 2010
- Rating:
(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I like TPCA because of its long standing success track, the high parent involvement, and its ability to provide all school types from K-high starting next year.
The Core Knowledge curriculum is a big benefit from my point of you.
My son never had any problem with teachers and their capability to explain things.
Any student you ask at this school - especially in the higher grades - is highlighting safety and team spirit as a key value.
