Jeniel Bamberg Traverse Bay Community School is simply phenomenal. Hi, my name is Jeniel Bamberg, I am in 8 th grade, and I have been going to school at TBCS for the last three years, ever since it opened in 1996. The students wrote the school's constitution, and we get to choose most of our own classes. There is so much freedom here. When combined with responsibility, the results are really successful, as can be seen when visiting our school.
People are extraordinarily non-judgmental here.
You're completely free to be who you want to be. The math, fine arts, and visual arts programs here are spectacular, and better than in most places. All this room allow us to have a farming program, complete with sheep, chickens, and gardening, not to mention all kinds of outdoor sports and activities. There's even a beautiful small lake, which I call Lost Lake, right behind the school building. Since TBCS only goes through eighth grade, I'm really going to miss my Lost Lake when I have to go on to High School next year.
