Ms. French is very unprofessional never has time to meet with parents even when requested by parents. The kids seems to do whatever they want my child experience bullying and Ms. French never addressed the problems that I contacted her about . It’s not enough staff to actually watch all the kids in the different buildings . There is a lack of communication with the principal and staff parents are not notified in a timely manner about things . The school needs a lot of improvement the school and principal lacks in communication with parents

I would highly not recommend this school for many reasons. What may have started out as a positive idea has morphed into a decent education with a bullying and hostile environment that will alter your child’s confidence and personality forever. Besides missing obvious basic needs like a gym, library, and many more things, the school is cramped and basically a church that was somehow accredited by the state. I really wish I’d done more research before sending my child there.

Perhaps I was a little harsh with my first review. The Principal actually really cares a lot about the children. There just needs to be more. More discipline for bad behavior, and more structure. More classes to help the children be more well rounded such as Physical Education, Art and Music.

The school requires each kindergartner to prepare to take the 1st grader's test and do well. My older children rarely received homework while in kindergarten. My youngest daughter receives homework every day while attending Kindergarten at TCP World Academy. We work as a family to try to keep up with the curriculum. To my surprise, the children are able to meet the school's high standards. The question is can the parents maintain the pace with the child. I recommend the TCP World Academy to anyone wanting a good education for their child.

My daughter has been here since Kindergarten and is going into the 4th grade for the 2014/2015 school year. I have definitely noticed that she is more advanced than other kids her age, and also kids in higher grade levels than she is in. The academics of this school far exceed great. However, it doesn't change for me that I don't feel the parents have any voice. The location is inconvenient, the class sizes are large, no sports/extracurricular activities, somewhat outrageously-sized homework packets, and not all staff are exactly "professional." Do wish the school went to the 8th grade, I am very uncomfortable with mixing 7th/8th graders with High-schoolers. Lastly, if you ever intend on being able to see your child perform during a Christmas show, arrive at least 2 hours early. The seating is absolutely ridiculous. They have had years to figure out a better way of doing this, but never have enough room to accomodate even half of the people that show up :-(

TCP is a school of excellent. My son is in first grade and his reading and math skills are very good. He is on a whole different level than friends and family members who are in a higher grade in the Cincinnati public school. He is also very good in French.

My son has been at TCP for 5 years and I love it. He's more advanced than his friends in private and public schools. My cousin is a teacher in public schools and said keep him at TCP because if I put him in public school he would have to go to 6th grade. My son is going into the 4th this year with the same teacher he had last year. I can say the last 4 years he's been in small classes with caring, attentive teachers who would call me anytime if they had problems or concerns. The kids there are so polite, honest and respectful. The only thing I would suggest is like all parents do is that she move. That way she could go up to maybe the 8th and have more kids there. But I know she won't move. Another thing I would suggest is after school activities and PTA. I think all schools public an charter should have a PTA. His homework is challenging but not too hard. They go on a lot of field trips. Last year he went to the Children's Theater and had to dress up. Which I thought was great exposure for the kids. If you need a good school TCP is it.
