Welcome to the Upper School of TPS! Our Upper School is comprised of grade 7, 8, and 9. There are two sections of grades 7 and 8 and one section of grade 9.
Although departmental in structure, the curriculum does have important links among all the disciplines. Faculty meet regularly to plan interdisciplinary experiences that help students understand how areas of study are related. The curriculum prepares students for the most competitive board and day schools and for the honors programs in local high schools. Formal examination periods occur at the end of the fall and spring terms.
Overnight trips to Frost Valley, the coast of Maine, and Washington, D.C. provide academic enrichment as well as an opportunity to build class unity.
Through the intra-school Green and Gold competition, interscholastic athletic teams, student council, yearbook, and various fine and performing arts productions, students have ample opportunities to develop leadership skills. As homeroom teachers, advisors, and coaches, the Upper school faculty work closely with all students to help them become positive and productive leaders of our school community.
Through high academic and behavioral expectations and the support to meet those expectations, the Upper School students set a commendable standard for students in the Primary and Middle Schools.
