With a focus on practical knowledge, physical literacy, leadership development, and critical thinking, TCLA offers a rich, purpose-driven environment tailored for students from Grades 1 through 9 (starting at age 6).

Classes begin with an orientation session each September (or upon sign-up). Parents are welcome to join their children for this introduction to our unique academic and physical training environment.
