TRCharacter
In engineering, a vector has two parts — direction and magnitude. It's our picture of raising young engineers: God provides the direction — purpose, ethics, and calling — and your student brings the magnitude — effort, skill, and perseverance. Talent without direction is just energy with no aim.
Woven free into every course, TRC Vectors points growing ability toward something that matters.

A vector possesses both direction and magnitude — it tells you not only how far something moves, but where it's headed. I chose this name because, as parents and educators, our highest responsibility isn't just teaching our students how to build things. It's helping them align the things they build, and the lives they live, with a calling higher than themselves.
TRCharacter Vectors
sessions are the dedicated home for TRC's faith-integrated character curriculum at the Pathfinder level. The name comes from a core concept in physics and engineering: a vector has both direction and magnitude. At TRC, we believe
God provides the direction — purpose, ethics, and calling — while
our students bring the magnitude — effort, skill, and perseverance. Lunch is where those two ideas meet, where students explore how STEM concepts connect to Scripture and to lifelong character development.
Precision & Integrity — Tolerances and significant figures teach attention to detail and honest documentation: you report what really happened, even when no one is checking.
(Colossians 3:23; Proverbs 12:22)
Iteration & Growth — The design process mirrors how we grow — through cycles of testing, failure, and refinement.
(Philippians 1:6; James 1:2–4)
Teamwork & Humility — Complex systems require collaboration; no one succeeds alone, and good engineers give credit freely.
(Ecclesiastes 4:9–12; Proverbs 27:17)
Stewardship & Efficiency — Optimizing a design reflects responsible use of the resources God provides. (Matthew 25:14–30)
Perseverance & Completion — Finishing well matters — in projects and in life. (2 Timothy 4:7; Philippians 3:12–14)
Curiosity & Wonder — Great engineers never stop asking questions; creation is full of designs worth investigating.
(Proverbs 25:2; Psalm 111:2)
Creativity & Craftsmanship — Made in the image of a Creator, we're called to build with skill and care. (Exodus 31:1–5; Genesis 1:27)
Communication & Documentation — If it isn't documented, it isn't finished — prove your work and make it plain.
(Habakkuk 2:2; Colossians 4:6)
