“We can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them."

A School of Virtue
When you look at the mission of Treasure Coast Classical Academy you see two main ideas: Training the Mind and Improving the Heart. These two ideas are equally important. The concept of classical education is one of wholeness. The seven words that make up this foundation are what we call the pillars of virtue. Courage, Honesty, Perseverance, Self-Government, Service, Courtesy, and Reasonability. The goal is to not believe in, know or regurgitate a definition. The goal is to make these virtues a centralized part of each scholar’s daily life. It takes time, patience, and sometimes even pain. It is accomplished through mainly lifestyle modeling and discipline. This process cannot be fully accomplished by a scholar merely attending TCCA. It takes complete parent support and buy-in. We all make choices every single day. Our families made a choice to put their children in this environment, mainly because they wanted the best for their children.
The pursuit of moral character and civic virtue is honestly becoming less and less popular in our society. However, we know and understand that by pursuing these ideas, we can never go wrong because in the end, having those characters is the only thing that matters. The lack of strong character opens us up to temptation and ultimately, failure. It’s just a matter of time.
Discipline is a key component in improving the heart. Student conduct will continue to be addressed and scholars will be held accountable. Discipline is a process, it is teaching. We discipline with the knowledge that we make choices, and then our choices make us. This character development is something that never ends. During this time in our scholars’ lives, we continue to instill and model that these virtues are a work in progress for an entire lifetime.
This is the journey on which you have chosen to embark. It is a journey of choices, patience, hard work, and daily discipline. But it’s not a journey that you must figure out alone. Together, we will celebrate the victories, learn through the failures, and keep striving for greatness all the while pursuing that which is true and beautiful. And always, keep in the forefront of your mind, that we are a school on a mission. As such, everything we do is measured against that mission. Our goal is to remain faithful. Looking forward to a great year ahead.

Physical Education Update
During these first few weeks of PE, our team has a robust and fun curriculum planned! The scholars will visit four different zones Monday-Thursday.
- Movement
- Strength & Gymnastics
- Ball Skills
- Games
Scholars will rotate through three of the stations each day. This will keep every scholar engaged and able to get a chance to participate in every skill. On Fridays, we will have Fun Friday where they will get to play the sport we have been teaching that month in the stations, as well as other exciting playground games. The curriculum even calls for learning line dancing! You can check out the curriculum here.
As we all know, It is HOT out there. Please send your scholars with a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle every day. Hats are only to be worn during PE.

If you are interested in providing water jugs and/or a water cooler for your scholar(s) classroom please contact Greg Campbell at Sailfish Springs directly at 1-772-888-9113 or via email.

We have adjusted the dates for the Raise Craze slightly. It will now take place September 12 - 30. Every scholar and family member is invited to participate! It is as simple as doing an Act of Kindness (AOK). We will wrap up the fundraiser by doing an AOK together - cleaning up the beach on International Coastal Cleanup Day, Saturday, 9/17.
All the money raised during Raise Craze will go directly to offset transportation costs for field trips. This year, every grade is going on a field trip! Without this fundraiser, field trips could cost up to $50 per scholar with bus transportation. Help us keep the cost down by participating.
Check out this flyer for more information.
Sign up to participate here!

School Supply Program
Only about half of TCCA families have paid their school supplies fee so far this school year. This program saves you time and money. Please pay today! You can purchase school supplies through your MySchoolBucks account. Also, you can donate any amount here to help scholars in need. Thank you!

Teacher Lounge
Teachers need snacks too! Many of you have been so generous to send in snacks and supplies for the teacher lounges. It really did help us get through teacher training and the first few days of the school year. Let's keep our teachers fueled up throughout the year by purchasing from our Amazon wish list.

Bike and Scooter Safety
Any scholar on an electric scooter is legally required to wear a helmet. Scholars on kick (non-powered) scooters, bikes, and electric scooters should be walking their scooters at all times on campus. Scooters and bikes should be parked in the bike and scooter racks located in the back carline. Only those with an address within 2 miles of the school will be allowed to walk, bike, or scooter to school. (Sorry! Each address will be looked up when a walker form is submitted)
In 2019 House Bill 453 was passed into law, modifying Florida law so that the operator of a motorized scooter has all the rights and duties applicable to the rider of a bicycle under §316.2065. See Fl. §316.2128(1). And under §316.2065(3)(D), all riders under the age of 16 have a legal duty to wear a helmet while riding an electric scooter.
