Teaneck Community Charter School

I have two children at TCCS currently 1st and 3rd grade and they are doing great. The teachers think out of the box, engage their students and challenge their minds. The school is non-traditional in many aspects and has a nurturing small environment which creates a great place to learn. TCCS kids graduate and go on to exceptional high schools in the area having had an education that fosters critical thinking and community engagement. Perfect for the kind of children I am raising. Keep up the great work TCCS!

Don't believe the hype about this school. This school masks it's poor curriculum with too many pasts dinners, movies nights and horrible performances. I pulled my daughter from this school after only one year (kindergarten) because her mind was being wasted by tracing letters and numbers in the first grade! Her teacher told me over and over that she was "on level" but after only a month at her new school, she tested with an IQ of 130 and is pulled out several times a week for advanced work. I fought tooth and nail for TCCS to recognize her talents but to no avail! They only survive because most of the parents have no idea what a challenging educational environment truly is. I can go on and on but the point is that if they have such small classes... they should be testing higher than the local public schools and THEY ARE NOT! I am so glad that my daughter no longer goes to this sham of a school.

My daughter is a second grader at Teaneck Community Charter School and has been there since Kindergarten. She absolutely LOVES the school and is excited about going there every day. It's an amazing educational community for her to be in. She is thriving there, but in large part to the willingness for the teachers that had her and currently have her to push her to be the best student and person she can be. The environment at the school is so welcoming and the kids are in a safe place to excel.

The Teaneck Community Charter School is an outstanding jewel in Teaneck. It is a place where children feel safe, challenged and cared for. TCCS has a firm place in the community and is well valued by all who have come to love it!

I am a student at the Teaneck Community Charter School, and I have to say that it is fantastic. Yes, it is a small school, but that is what I like about it. It is small and comfortable and everyone there is like family. We also go on trips, so when we learn something in class there may be something hands on later. Like we saw an actual Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car. Or when the 5-6's go to Frost Valley to learn about the environment, team building and many more. I am really going to miss this school when I graduate, but I know when I come back to visit, they will be happy to see me, just like I am happy to see them.

Our school is the best place in the world to be. We are a community. Our students range from Kindergarten to 8th grade. All of our students,parents and faculty work together to make this school one of the happiest places to be. We work together, play together, cry together....we do whatever it takes to make sure our students leave here ready to face what lies ahead. Our students are not only ready educationally they are secure in who they are and what they need to do to succeed.

My son goes to Teaneck Community Charter School and I absolutely love it. The program is tough yet manages to completely engage my child. The teachers also work with the parents and understand the immediate impact they have on their students. Learning takes place in the class room and in the community, as they encourage learning from all aspects of life.

I am a graduate of T.C.C.S, I began there the first year it started in 1998 and stayed there untill my graduation of the eighth grade(2006) . Never have i questioned being a part of this school. It gave me something that none of my friends experienced from their other schools, a family. I was never afraid to go for help, which the teachers went above and beyond to to. And Principal Rex, always the best Principal he could have been! i was able to go to him for anything, and he willingly wrote an acceptance letter for me to get into a high school academy. The Charter School was the best experience i could have had throughout my elementary and middle school life!

This is my daughter's second year at TCCS and she loves it. This school focuses on every child's individual needs and works very hard to help them achieve their goals! The entire school feels like a BIG extended family. Everyone works together for one GOAL - our children.
