TJS excels because of the strong staff. In general a majority of the teachers are warm, supportive and dedicated to their professional. My only complaint is the school keeps higher young teachers- it would be nice to see more senior, experienced teachers. my children have thrived at TJS in the 3 yrs we have been enrolled. My biggest complaint is the that the roll out of the new Singapore Math program was not as thoughtful and smooth as it could have been. My second grader, who was taught the "old math" since Kindergarten struggled significantly with this new, rigorous and very different math program. She was stressed all year which shocked me- she is the type of child who jumps out of bed and runs to school. There should have been more differiated learning. Instead the while class was pushed through even though she and others clearly weren't ready. Parents couldn't help because we didn't know how to teach the math at home. Singapore workshops are needed outside of school for both parents and students! ( and even some teachers who struggled to teach it!)
