About Us: A Recognized Baltimore Private School

Our Approach: Hands-On Learning

TNCS, a Baltimore private school, is dedicated to fostering a love of learning in every child. We understand that children learn at different paces, which is why our mixed-aged classrooms tap into students’ individual strengths and encourage children to learn both independently and in small groups.

Our inquiry-based approach ensures that each child receives an exceptional education. At all levels, our students are motivated to take risks, solve problems, and develop independence.

We place a strong emphasis on language acquisition and teach both Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. In fact, our youngest preschoolers learn and play in a complete immersion environment. After age 3, TNCS students transition to partial language immersion. Each class has a native Spanish- or Mandarin-speaking assistant teacher who communicates exclusively in that language.

As students enter elementary and middle school, they attend formal language classes in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, learning to read and write in those languages as well as to speak fluently. In addition, some classes may be taught in Spanish or Mandarin Chinese to deepen language acquisition.

Schoolwide, we emphasize self-motivation and focus on developing character, including teaching children both self-respect and to be gracious and kind to others through continuous integration of our Core Values: Compassion, Courage, Respect, and Service.
