Growth is the central tenet of the mission of the Teaching and Learning Center at Tower Hill School. Established in 2016, the TLC is a resource for students and teachers who wish to maximize learning processes, address specific academic challenges, engage in best practices, seek support for documented learning differences, or challenge themselves to achieve new levels of excellence. The TLC is a process-oriented nucleus of the school that fosters dialogue, innovation, flexibility and excellence in individualized teaching and learning in the 21st century. Existing to uphold the mission and philosophy of the school in all circumstances, the TLC is in a position to recommend reasonable accommodations for students with documented needs but cannot support requests to modify curricula. Our Learning Specialists endeavor to equip students and teachers with tools, strategies and opportunities to learn about learning so that they may build repertoires, excel and nurture the mindsets needed for continuing education. Advisors will serve as the preliminary contact in the student referral process to the TLC. The TLC is located in the Neela Patel Center for Innovation - THE Hub.
