Community Services
Part of effectively educating a child is making provision for some basic physical needs. TCIS offers the following programs in the community to help meet these needs in the lives of our students and faculty.
Bus Transport
TCIS School Bus Service
TCIS provides an optional school bus service as a convenience for students (for an additional fee.) All TCIS drivers are experienced drivers with outstanding safety records and most have worked at TCIS for many years. For safety and convenience, buses are equipped with seat belts, CCTV cameras and Internet access.
