Today’s students face an ever-increasing complex and competitive world. TCPS
offers prospective students a superior education in a safe, supportive and
caring environment where they acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence to
succeed in tomorrow’s world.
We invite you to view the video below showcasing the Amarillo
Campus (Pre-School to grade 1) and Main Campus (grades 2 to 12).
Established in 1986, Town Centre Private Schools is an International
Baccalaureate® World School providing students with the foundation for academic
excellence and a well-rounded program. TCPS offers a Montessori Pre-School
program as well as an IB Elementary School and a Private High School with an
optional IB Diploma Programme. TCPS is registered with the Ministry of
Education. Prior enrolment in a Montessori Pre-School program is not a
prerequisite for admission to our Pre-School, Elementary or High School
programs.
Montessori Pre-School Program
Prospective students may enrol in the Montessori Pre-School program as young as
18 months of age with or without toilet training. The Pre-School offers a
flexible program allowing students to attend full days or half days and
enrolments are accepted throughout the year. The TCPS Montessori program
includes instruction in Language, Mathematics, Social Science, French, Computer
Studies, Physical Education, and the Orff Music program. Commencing at the age
of 4 in our Preparatory classes, students embark on a combined Montessori and IB
Primary Years Programme. The IB is an excellent complement to the Montessori
program.
A Pre-School Summer Camp program is offered during July and August with the
option of weekly enrolment. Learn more about our Montessori Pre-School program.
Elementary Program
All students entering the Elementary school are automatically enrolled in the IB
Primary Years Programme (grades 1 – 5) or IB Middle Years Programme (grades 6 –
8). The Elementary program offers a well-rounded, academic education preparing
and guiding students towards university placement. TCPS provides enrichment in
the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography. In
addition to the core subjects, French, Music, Computer Studies, and Physical
Education are taught by teachers who specialize in these fields of study.
An Elementary Summer Camp is offered during July and August with the option of
weekly enrolment. Learn more about our Private Elementary School program.
High School Program
Town Centre Private Schools offer a co-educational, private High School and an
IB World School with advanced university bound courses. Students have the option
of taking the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in grades 11 and 12. This allows
graduates to earn both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and the IB Diploma.
Town Centre provides a rigorous academic program in order to fully prepare
students for the demands of university studies. We challenge our students, but
at the same time we provide them with the support they need to rise to these
challenges. All courses at Town Centre are taught at the university entrance
level.
Students also have the opportunity to earn additional Ministry credits during
the month of July.
As we entered our 32nd year, we continued our journey with the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Programme implementation. Students who take the IB Programme
excel in university studies and beyond. It is so gratifying to find an ideology
that can take our Montessori foundations and build upon them in both the
Elementary and High School Divisions. In today's world with rapidly changing
parameters, critical thinking along with self-challenging habits are a
necessity, and TCPS students will be able to rise to the challenges with ease.
TCPS now has the distinction of having an acknowledged certification in the
Diploma Programme (Grades 11 and 12), the Middle Years Programme (Grades 6 to
10) and this year we were certified for the Primary Years Programme (Preparatory
to Grade 5) to earn the status of being an IB World Continuum School, providing
our students with the tools to be active learners and communicators starting
from the age of 4 years.
We have come a long way from our modest beginnings in 1986. One of the keys to
our success has been the dedication of our teaching staff and administration. I
would like to acknowledge their hard work and enthusiasm over the years. We have
grown over the last 3 decades to become a reputable and respected educational
institution and I look forward to our future together.
