Meet the Founders
Kristen Rose, Founder | Head of Lower School
Kristen received her Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education as well as a Master’s of Science in STEM Leadership and has just concluded her 7th year of professional teaching. She has experience in both private and public schools, as well as over seven years of working in childcare. Kristen’s heart is for the education system. She desires to seek a change not just for students, but teachers and faculty as well. Throughout her years of teaching, Kristen has seen the ins and outs of the difficulties and tough realities that exist in our school systems. Her desire for change is to provide a safe space for teachers to receive support inside and outside of the classroom, as well as to cultivate a positive learning environment for students to develop not just their academic portfolio, but grow in their calling and character.
Kaitlyn Rose, Co-Founder | Head of Upper School
My name is Kaitlyn and I will always bring the humor to every situation. I graduated from Chattanooga State with a degree in secondary education with an emphasis in history/social studies and a minor in studio production. Starting TCS alongside my sister, Kristen is a dream years in the making. I have worked in child care and in classroom settings for over 6 years and I am so excited to be head of our upper school! When I'm not at school, you’ll find me running social media sites, hanging out with my dog Theo, and preparing for my Scottish Highland cow, Bruhnard.
