'Tis the Season to be Jolly at T.E.C.! (And We Have a Brand New Home!)


As the scent of warm bread fills the air, and the sound of carols echoes through the halls of our brand new building, we at The T.E.C. Schools find ourselves reflecting on a year of extraordinary growth and exciting new beginnings. It's been a year of hard work, learning, and embracing new opportunities, and we are filled with gratitude for the incredible community that makes our school so special.


New Beginnings, New Spaces, New Opportunities

This year has been one of transformation and expansion. Our move to our new location at 15 Jamesbury Drive in Worcester, MA has brought with it a renewed sense of energy and possibility. With bright, spacious classrooms, state-of-the-art facilities, and a beautiful outdoor learning space, we are equipped to provide our students with an even more enriching and inspiring learning environment.


Engaging with the Worcester Community

Our new location has also opened doors to exciting partnerships within the wider Worcester community. We are thrilled to be collaborating with local organizations to bring our students a variety of experiences in STEM and the arts. From interactive workshops with local scientists and artists, to field trips to cultural centers, we are committed to fostering creativity, innovation, and a love of learning in all its forms.


Spreading Cheer and Goodwill

The holidays are a time for giving back, and the generosity of our families, alumni, students and staff has warmed our hearts throughout the year. From helping move our school, setting up the classrooms, lending a helping hand to a classmate to sharing a smile with everyone they meet, they have truly embraced the spirit of the season.


Looking Ahead to a Sparkling New Year

As we gather with loved ones and create new memories, we also look forward to the adventures that await us in the new year. With renewed enthusiasm and a shared commitment to excellence, we are excited to embark on another chapter of learning and discovery together in our wonderful new home.


Warmest Wishes from the Head of School

On behalf of the entire T.E.C. family, I wish you a joyous holiday season filled with laughter, warmth, and cherished moments. May the new year bring you happiness, health, and fulfillment.


Happy Holidays!

Rupali Sharma

Head of School

Cultivating Independence and Grace: The T.E.C. Tea Ceremony

By Rupali Sharma • April 17, 2025
Step into our Montessori classroom, and you'll often witness a scene of quiet concentration around a small table. Children, with focused intent, are carefully preparing tea. To the casual observer, it might seem like a charming domestic activity. But as we delve deeper, we discover that this tradition of tea making is a powerful microcosm of the entire Montessori philosophy, brewing far more than just a warm beverage.

The culmination of Circle Week is a profound exploration of deriving the formula for the area of a circle. This activity bridges the gap between hands-on manipulation and abstract mathematical understanding, guided by Montessori principles.
