TEACHERS COLLEGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL
TEACHERS COLLEGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 5 school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 285 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. With about 19 teachers, TEACHERS COLLEGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
The TEACHERS COLLEGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL (TCCS), located at 168 Morningside Avenue in Harlem, is a unique Pre-K through 8th-grade public school established through a collaboration between Teachers College, Columbia University, and the New York City Department of Education. Founded in 2011, the school is designed as a laboratory for innovative educational practices. By bridging the gap between academic research and classroom application, TCCS aims to provide a high-quality, inquiry-based curriculum that prepares students to be critical thinkers and engaged members of their local and global communities.
Beyond its academic focus, TCCS is deeply rooted in the surrounding Harlem neighborhood, emphasizing a "community school" model that integrates family support and community involvement into the daily life of the institution. The school leverages its partnership with Teachers College to provide students with access to specialized resources, enrichment programs, and a highly collaborative teaching environment. Through its mission to foster "equity and excellence," TCCS strives to create a diverse and inclusive learning space that supports the intellectual, social, and emotional development of every student.
