Tyre Community School not only motivates its students to pursue academic excellence but also empowers them to be life-long learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society.
At TCS, we aim to identify the talents, skills, and abilities of each student, to nurture and encourage them to think, express, and exhibit their skills in their daily life. Our educational system helps the student develop his/her personality and equip him/her to face the challenges of life. We wish to develop a passion for learning inside the child's heart and mind so that he/she does not stop growing.
TCS motivates its teachers to provide an atmosphere for discovery, where students are encouraged to be creative and curious. We tend to teach our students through observation and experience. In the words of John Dewey, “Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.”
At present, TCS strives to develop in students' minds a sense of discipline and moral values. Our educational philosophy is centered on praise, encouragement, enthusiasm, and affection, rather than criticism, fear, and punishment. This is the third year of TCS, and with the help of God and blessings, we will be up to the expectations of the families who entrusted their children to our care.
Tyre Community school, its teachers, administrators, and staff are united in their belief that all children: Have the power to learn. Are curious & creative. Can succeed No two students have the same skills or learning style. That’s why we create an individual learning plan for every child. Our plans combine direct instruction, small-group work, and one-on-one tutoring in a way that works for your student.
- Integrity
- Service
- Responsibility
- Teamwork
- Honesty
- Excellence
- Commitment
In TCS kindergarten we work so hard on the child’s personality because that’s what matters. Making our learners dream of coming to school the next day with a smile on their faces is one of our most important goals. In TCS kindergarten we implant morals as well as education. It has become the best place for our learners and we will keep on working hard to go even further.
Cycle 1 is an exciting time of discovery for our beloved young students in which they learn, using all their senses, to make connections between the written word with pictures, ideas, and concepts. We also believe that this is the opportunity to help them learn routines which help them to be organized, not only for school but for life.
TCS makes learning fun. We do this in many ways both inside and outside the classroom. Activities in class and outside of class connect learning to life and develop a spirit of community. We also choose activities to help remind the children to care both for themselves as well as for others. As they continue to grow, they learn how to order their own lives and how to better order their world.
Cycle 2 is a foundational time in the lives of our students. Beginning to cover a more comprehensive range of academic subjects while developing both physically and emotionally, the administrative team at TCS works to further develop this growth through the promotion of:
- They use modern methods of learning based on activities and technology.
- Integrating learners into society through participation in several social activities (such as visiting a nursing home, hosting a lunch for children from disadvantaged families, fundraising for cancer centers, and other events both national and international).
- Giving attention to the individual talents and abilities of our learners through participation in varied sporting, artistic and scientific events.
Each student matters to us and our hope is that they will love being at TCS as much as we love having them here. In its intermediate and secondary programs, TCS aims to have a well-rounded program that balances academics with extra-curricular activities. Why? Because learning and life go together. We seek to foster discipline and motivation from within our students to make them mature, eager, independent learners. We also seek to distinguish our school by caring about the whole student. We not only focus on academic achievement, with concern for their minds, but we seek to develop hearts and morals with the hope of furthering them as productive and responsible world citizens.
Lebanese Program. This program aims at leading students to fulfill the requirements of the Lebanese Ministry of Education curriculum in preparation for the government examinations. The school implements the curriculum by adopting books that provide healthy and constructive methods that encourage student's involvement in the learning process. Information technology is an integral part of the instructional procedures and students are encouraged to use Information Technology in fulfilling the objective and goals. The objectives of the Lebanese Curriculum set by the ministry of English Language, Science, and Math are fulfilled through American textbooks (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) books that enrich the learning process.
Computer-Based Learning. Learning is interactive. It is more effective when students are engaged in interaction with the teacher, other students, and resources, including technology. In these programs, our classes are equipped with Interactive boards, laptops and students use individual mini-laptops where each learns gradually and interactively lessons.
Foreign System Learning. We offer students who have studied abroad and for students with foreign passports a specialized program of study, with most subjects in English (for those whose first language is English) and with consideration for those who need additional support in a second language (English/Arabic). While working within the ability level of each student, the program seeks to develop creative and critical thinking skills, independent learning, and values each student’s contribution.
