Town Centre believes in setting high academic standards in a supportive environment.
Town Centre offers a rigorous academic program in order to fully prepare students for the demands of university studies. We challenge our students, but at the same time we provide them with the support they need to rise to these challenges. All courses at Town Centre are taught at the university-entrance level.
We offer a wide selection of Advanced Placement (AP) and pre-AP courses to enable our students to realize their academic goals.
Specialized teachers instruct classes with a very low student to teacher ratio. TCPHS offers the best features of a traditional university-preparatory school including:
- A systematic, sequential curriculum

- Caring discipline
- High academic standards
- Sound educational leadership
Semesters
Town Centre Private High School operates on a semester basis allowing students more flexibility in choosing courses and in starting school in mid-year.
Parent-teacher communication
Communication between teachers and parents is paramount, and teachers consult with students and parents on an ongoing basis.
High academic standards
