Educating the Whole Child

The core academic curriculum is designed to be academically rigorous and to allow students to transition seamlessly to whichever school system they choose for high school, private or public, whether here in Mexico or abroad. Our program emphasizes a strong foundation in essential academic disciplines while promoting critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning.

Core Subjects

Mathematics

Our middle school math curriculum is designed to cover key content strands, including Number and Number Sense, Computation and Estimation, Measurement and Geometry, Probability and Statistics, and Patterns, Functions, and Algebra. We emphasize problem-solving skills and real-world applications to ensure a deep understanding of mathematical principles. This comprehensive approach prepares students for high school math courses and helps them develop critical thinking and analytical skills essential for their academic and personal success.

Science

Our middle school science curriculum provides a comprehensive understanding of physical science, life science, earth and space sciences, and technology. Students explore principles of matter and energy, the study of living organisms, Earth's systems and the universe, and the impact of technology on society. With a strong focus on the environment and the world around them, students engage in hands-on experiments and real-world applications to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry, preparing them to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and technological world.

English Language Arts

We focus on developing strong reading, writing, and communication skills. Students engage with a diverse range of literature, learn to craft various types of writing, and practice critical analysis and interpretation of texts.

Social Studies

Our social studies program covers history, geography, economics, and civics. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of global cultures, historical events, and current affairs, fostering informed and responsible citizenship.

Integrated Curriculum

At TCC, the curriculum is taught in integrated thematic units, with concepts being reinforced across subject areas. This approach ensures that students see the interconnectedness of knowledge, making learning more meaningful and memorable
​

By integrating subjects around a central theme, students can apply their learning in various contexts, develop critical thinking skills, and engage more deeply with the material. This method also allows for differentiated instruction, catering to diverse learning styles and interests.

​

The integrated curriculum fosters collaboration and communication among students, as they work in groups to solve complex, real-world problems. This teamwork not only enhances their academic skills but also prepares them for future endeavors in a dynamic and interconnected world.

​

At TCC, we believe that an integrated curriculum is key to developing well-rounded, inquisitive, and capable learners who are ready to make a positive impact on their communities and beyond.
