Frequently asked questions

Is the Family Education Program required?

Yes. Every new family completes the program during their first year as a condition of enrollment. It establishes the shared language the model depends on.

How much does the Family Education Program cost?

The fee is $900, billed separately from annual tuition. Scheduling and payment details are provided before each series begins.

What happens after I finish the Family Education Program?

Families are invited to join the Multiple Family Group, an ongoing monthly community that provides continued guidance from the Student Support Team and a structured space to connect with families navigating similar challenges.

What is the Daily Progress Report?

A daily snapshot of your child's day using our Student Growth and Reinforcement System. It lets you recognize progress, prompt specific conversations at home, and track patterns without waiting for a scheduled conference.

Why does TCS structure family involvement this way?

Because skills become lasting habits only when they are reinforced consistently across settings. When home and school use the same framework and language, your child applies those skills with confidence at school, at home, and beyond.
