Mission<\/strong><\/td>Empowering learners to create and achieve their educational goals through a customized and collaborative process of reflection, self-evaluation, and self-correction. Our core beliefs include: \u2022 The active process of significant learning \u2022 The success of our learners and our parent-teachers is our first priority. \u2022 Partnerships among learners, parents and the TLCI team are integral to learner success. \u2022 We value respect for ourselves and others. \u2022 All learners deserve a positive and supportive environment. \u2022 We hold high expectations for learners, parents and ourselves. \u2022 We encourage and facilitate lifelong learning. \u2022 Customizing learning facilitates individuals in reaching their highest potential. \u2022 Including parents and TLCI team members in our mission of empowerment. We are passionate about inspiring and nurturing individuals to honor their natural thirst for learning. We believe that by providing individuals with a customized, creative, and inspiring program of learning tailored to their needs, interests and goals, the learner\u2019s intrinsic motivation will awaken with a personal awareness, a love of learning, and a belief in themselves. Education is not a collection of knowledge handed down from teachers to students, nor a race to finish a book, or simply memorizing facts and figures. The process of significant learning is an active process in which the learner is the protagonist. This type of learning contrasts with rote learning, which is a more passive procedure. Active learning is a conscious process of adding and adapting new information to our previous knowledge Becoming expert questioners, reflective critical thinkers, and self-aware persons, individuals are equipped with the skills to make wise choices on the journey to create a successful life. We are committed to remaining a unique private school where each learner and parent-teacher receives individualized care from our dedicated, highly specialized collaborative team.<\/td><\/tr>
Activities<\/strong><\/td>The academic classroom is not the only place important life learning takes place. Unfortunately, traditional schools give academic credit only for learning completed within their four walls. TLCI\u2019s picks up where traditional public and private school programs leave off. We encourage creativity and playfulness, custom design courses, offering credit for exploration, and creative learning experiences while using the whole world as the classroom: \u2022 Cultural and social pursuits; skills learned through scouting, and youth group activities \u2022 Entrepreneurial activities such as website design, lawn service, and photography \u2022 Learning a musical instrument, performances and art related activities \u2022 Internships, seminars and work experience gained in part-time jobs \u2022 Self-directed learning, certifications and mentorship \u2022 Integrate math into physical activities \u2022 Sports, soccer, fencing, equine learners \u2022 Cross-curricular learning through play \u2022 Self-taught skills such as bike repair, blacksmithing, and computer skill development \u2022 Travel and exploration \u2022 Book clubs and reading games Program flexibility is supported by an advisor led system of ongoing communication, regular schedule video conferences, and a reflective journal between learners, parent-teachers and their advisors. The advisor provides critical feedback empowering parents and learners to self-evaluate and make corrections to the plan wherever it might be needed. The advisor feedback to regular reflections helps with the approach and implementation of the learner\u2019s program and assists older learners grasp subject matter resulting in confidence that opens them to pursue greater challenges. Our process enriches their learning experiences well beyond the scope and pace of the traditional classroom while maximizing competency and mastery of all subjects.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"country":[394],"city":[419],"type_of_school":[422],"class_list":["post-31335","school","type-school","status-publish","hentry","country-united-states","city-montgomery-village","type_of_school-other"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false,"et-pb-post-main-image":false,"et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-module-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image-single":false,"et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait":false,"et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth-large":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--desktop":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--tablet":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--phone":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/iskconeducation.org\/it\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Year of formation 1984 Email nstempel@tlcischool.org Address 9532 Cape Anne Place Montgomery Village, Maryland 20886 Mission Empowering learners to create and achieve their educational goals through a customized and collaborative process of reflection, self-evaluation, and self-correction.
