Media Center

Helpful information for Middle School parents.

Our goal in The Villages Charter Middle School (TVCMS) media centers is to create an environment that inspires students to pursue their interests and expand their horizons through reading, to become effective users of information and ideas, and to develop college and career readiness skills that enable them to become independent, lifelong learners.
