low enrollment, financial trouble 7/14/2010

This school does have a nice faculty and staff - no one can argue with that. Classes here are TOO small with lots of enrollment troubles -- can be difficult for kids to find social circle (for example, some classes may have only 4 girls, etc). A lot of people wonder if this school will survive much longer. It seems to be on very shakey ground. more

Favorite Things: The buddy program with the older kids mentoring the younger ones, hot home made school lunches, 3 days of active gym per week, weekly Spanish from grade K, a specialized science teacher as well as a ""technology"" teacher (aka... computers!).

TDS is Great! 9/20/2005

As a parent I couldn't be happier. Everyday my son (3rd grade) looks forward to school and comes home happy. He is challenged academically and learning at the pace that works great for him. We receive an excellent value from TDS for the reasonable tuition that we pay. TDS is committed to the education of boys and girls by truly focusing on the unique attributes of each child and by creating a dynamic sense of community. TDS emphasizes responsibility and the never-ending reach for academic excellence. I understand that they recently scored in the 10% of private schools in the US. No other school in the Triangle can touch the combination of academic excellence and value. more

dedicated parent 9/13/2005

I have had children at TDS for the last 7 years and I have been overwhelmingly pleased with their education. I chose TDS because of the small class size, emphasis on academics and strong emphasis on respect for others and property. After becoming a TDS parent I found the school to have a solid base if parent involvement and support. I know most of the families at the school. In a city such as Durham, TDS is one of the few places that still has the community ""neighborhood school"" feel to it. I've never been dissappointed with my choice. Pros: small class size, reasonable price, strong parent involve Cons: no soccer/bball field, parking more

We have been a TDS family for four years. Our son has thrived in a learning environment that is small, nurturing and meets all his needs. We could not be happier with our decision. We love that parent involvement is not only welcome but encouraged. Pros: class size, staff, value more

  • Triangle Day School is a K-8th grade private school. Academic excellence and intellectual engagement lie at the heart of our mission at TDS. In small classes, thoughtful, creative, and dedicated teachers develop a
    wonderful rapport with the children, set the bar high, and then support students as they strive to reach their goals. Whether it's a first grader making a video in Spanish, a fifth-grader researching a city for his entire class to visit, or an eighth-grader presenting her research project to the school community, our students find joy in learning and take pride in achievement. Along the way, they develop a healthy self-confidence that serves them well in high school and beyond.

Students receive solid instruction in the areas of language arts, math, science, social studies, Spanish, physical education, arts, and electives. Combining time-tested methods with innovative techniques, lessons focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, written and oral communication, and creativity. In addition, every Middle School student has an advisor. Advisory in Middle School at TDS comprises small, mixed grade-level groups that meet in homerooms, conduct school-based community service, and engage in bi-weekly discussions about the school's Core Values of respect, responsibility, compassion, resilience, and integrity. The advisor is one of the student's academic teachers and plays an additional role of liaison between home and school. The advisor is a strong advocate for his/her advisees throughout the year. The rigorous academic program in Middle School prepares students to meet the challenges of any high school setting. Daily study halls, where every teacher is available for questions and enrichment, teach students about time management, self-advocacy, and to see their teachers as allies. Students graduate from Triangle Day School as confident, lifelong learners, equipped with a sound academic foundation and the life skills necessary for success.
