"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

When you first step into a T.E.C. School’s Montessori classroom, you might notice something wonderfully unique: children of varying ages learning and working together in the same space. It's a hallmark of our approach, and visitors often ask us: "How can children with such different sizes and abilities all be supported, challenged, and thrive in one dynamic community?" The answer lies in one of the deepest secrets of Montessori pedagogy, a simple yet incredibly effective approach: the "three-year cycle." This cycle is a foundational element that underpins our holistic mission, including our vibrant STEAM curriculum, ensuring every child finds their footing, grows with purpose, and ultimately blossoms.

"The child is both hope and promise for mankind." – Maria Montessori  As parents, don't we all yearn for our children to not just succeed, but to thrive? To grow into individuals who are not only capable and intelligent but also compassionate, resilient, and ready to contribute positively to the world? When you look at your child, do you see the vast, untapped potential, the bright spark of curiosity, and wonder how best to nurture it into a fulfilling future?

At The T.E.C. Schools, the Capstone Project isn't just an event; it's a hallmark Montessori tradition, signifying the pinnacle of our students' academic and social skills achievements. While we do conduct standardized tests – because, yes, they have their place in showing a snapshot of certain knowledge – the Capstone Project brings forth a whole universe of skills not measurable on a multiple-choice bubble sheet.
