Our curriculum and teaching practices are academically demanding, problem-focused, and when possible, connected to real-world endeavors. We emphasize personal responsibility, independent learning, leadership, teamwork and presentation skills across the curriculum. Our class sizes are purposefully small to teach to a variety of learning styles. Ability-grouping is utilized only in mathematics and world language.
Courses are designed to give students the opportunity to explore, wrestle with, question, and find meaning in the subject being taught. Curricula are developed to foster creativity and independent thought. Many of the school’s events are intended to help students expand and deepen their intellectual, ethical, emotional, artistic and physical selves. Leadership opportunities abound within the program.
TSA can best be described as a hybrid of public and private education offering the advantages of a small school environment. Our goal is to create a school with high academic standards where students feel safe – a place where students come first; where they are able to be themselves, be accepted socially, and challenged academically.
| The Key Attributes Employers Seek on Students’ Resumes
College students who are conducting their job search and want to impress employers with their resumes should emphasize their abilities to solve problems and work as part of a team, according to a new survey report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Written communication skills, leadership, and a strong work ethic are also highly valued attributes. |
