Our mission is to prepare children for life.


The mission of The T.E.C. Schools is to cultivate children’s natural curiosity and educate them to reach their highest potential to become accomplished, moral, and intrinsically satisfied individuals. Using the scientific tools of education in a Montessori environment, students meet their intellectual, social, and emotional needs by engaging in hands-on, real-world experiences to prepare for life.

Why chose The T.E.C. Schools?

Montessori Materials

We prepare our environment carefully to nurture each child’s potential. Students engage in work they love and are satisfied by accomplishing challenging work.

S.T.E.A.M. related classroom materials

There is no limit to a child’s imagination! Students develop their creativity and bring their ideas to life by designing, building, and experimenting.

"Teachers at T.E.C. treat and educate students as individuals. They truly teach students manners, respect and how to be an all around good person."

Anne, School Parent

"At T.E.C. teachers ask you, ‘WHY do you need to learn this?’ Then they take the children and show them WHY and HOW knowledge is helping them now and in future. The biggest impact I had was when I walked into the classroom and saw a copy of the Odyssey. How does someone learn to read and write those words? I flipped through the pages. It takes time to learn. Soon I learned to read. Now I can’t get my nose out of a book. You may not like all the books but there is alway one book that has an impact on you."

Alexander Welburn, T.E.C. Alum
