Mission:

The mission of the Tidioute Community Charter School is the development of the mind, soul and physical well being of our students through the creation of a safe environment, community involvement, innovative teaching practices, individualized attention and a mentor program that will result in a world class education in a small town environment.

About Us:

The Tidioute Community Charter School, located in Victorian Tidioute, Pennsylvania, is a rural K4-12 School. TCCS prides itself on small class sizes with more individualized attention, Kindergarten for 4 and 5 year olds, and a state of the art technology program. The students are immersed in a vigorous curriculum that promotes project-based learning with a focus on the environment and community.

Nestled amid the Allegheny National Forest, along the Allegheny River , TCCS is the ideal setting for students interested in the environment. With our hands on approach, students have the opportunity to experience Science and Math as they never have before. As the centerpiece for the Tidioute Community, TCCS promotes civic responsibility to our students by instilling in them a lifelong desire to make a difference in their communities. A mentorship program for grades 9-12 also gives the students the opportunity to receive real world experiences in a field of their choice in and around Warren County. At the Tidioute Community Charter School our goal is to provide a world-class education in a small town environment.

In response to the consolidation plans being implemented within the Warren County School District (WCSD), the Tidioute Area Business Association (TABA) and its education committee Save Our School (SOS) organized a grass roots effort in 2003 to keep a K-12 school in Tidioute. The charter school planning group came to the task of creating a community based expeditionary learning school that utilizes the community and environment to offer a rich curriculum that is both rigorous and innovative. Opening in 2005, the Tidioute Community Charter School is a public K4-12 charter school. TCCS serves students from the Warren, Forest and Titusville School Districts.

The founding members developed the Tidioute Community Charter School as a unique and progressive charter school with the belief that a school should provide a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment where education is valued; a school that provides a world class educational experience, characterized by rigorous curriculum, quality instruction, creativity and continuous achievement. A school that fosters a love for learning and gives each child the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for success.
