In K-12 schools, 7th and 8th graders are caught in the middle. By contrast, in TK-8 schools, these students lead the school in a variety of important ways. At TDS, all of our students are involved in leadership in one form or another: representing their classes on the Student Council, acting as morning greeters, serving as admissions ambassadors for prospective families, designing the yearbook, serving as buddies to their younger peers, and so much more.
