JTCC results speak for themselves
JTCC School graduates are well-prepared for the demands of playing top collegiate tennis while pursuing their education at a wide range of leading colleges and universities including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, University of Virginia, UCLA, University of North Carolina, Duke, and Claremont McKenna College, to name a few.
JTCC has utilized the Laurel Springs School online curriculum for 18 years. Laurel Springs’ collegiate track is accredited by the NCAA. The JTCC School provides students with the flexibility required to train and compete at the highest levels of junior tennis while ensuring that everyone who graduates is fully prepared for college.
JTCC students are in class with a teacher for two-hour sessions twice daily in the morning and the afternoon. Students are also expected to complete coursework in the evenings and on weekends as in any traditional school.
JTCC emphasizes academic excellence and character development
While students are on tournament travel, coaches oversee study time to ensure that students do not fall behind in their studies. JTCC emphasizes academic excellence and character development side-by-side with the growth and improvement of each player’s tennis skills.
JTCC School Director Mark Santangelo is a graduate of Yale University (B.A. History) and George Washington University (M. Phil., ABD, American History). Prior to joining JTCC in 2006, he taught locally at both private schools and at the college level.
In addition to the Laurel Springs curriculum, JTCC integrates field trips in the Washington, D.C. area as enhanced learning experiences and offers SAT preparation with supplemental instruction and tutoring in subject fields.
