Two Teachers per Class Program
TCMPS has a program called "Two Teachers per Class", in which each classroom has two teachers, a head teacher and a co-teacher as assistant. This leads to a high teacher-to-student rate. The core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography are taught to students in grades one through six by their regular classroom teachers; students in grades seven and eight have a rotary teaching schedule, with specialist teachers in Mathematics, Language, Science, History and Geography. Students in grades one through eight have specialist teachers for Computer Studies, Physical Education, French and Music/Band.
Extended hours
In addition to teaching hours, TCMPS is open from 7:00 to 9:00 and after school from 3:30pm to 6:30pm.
From Kindergarten to Grade 12 after-school programs are offered to all ages, including choir, badminton, ballet, hip hop, pottery, art, computer club, tae kwon do, and piano.
Summer programs
From July to August summer programs are offered, including field trips. Swimming is available once weekly.
