Extra-Curricular Opportunities

We encourage all of our students to take advantage of any of numerous opportunities to make the most of their high school years. Exploring one’s interests in high school is rewarding intrinsically and it can also build knowledge and experiences that may benefit the student in the application process. Please note that we do not encourage students to be involved in activities merely to build a resume for a college application. Rather, we find that students enjoy developing their personal interests which can have the added benefit of strengthening a college application.

A partial list of opportunities that TSA students enjoy is found below.

On-Campus

Sports

TSA invites all students to participate in our team sports. See the athletics page for more information.

Theater and the Arts

TSA has a strong tradition in this area with the All-School  Musical and other opportunities.

Leadership

There are many opportunities for leadership within the school, although they may not be traditional areas of leadership as seen in other schools. We encourage students to take leadership roles in a variety of contexts. These range from Student Government to directorial positions during the musical theater interim.

Off Campus:

Community Service

Students can fulfill Standard #6-Engage in Community and  Responsible Citizenship as well as gain experience in a field of interest to them while also contributing to the broader community.

Travel

Many of our students choose to travel abroad or within the US to enhance their educational experience. If students would like to travel during a time that would cause them to miss school, visit the Student Travel Abroad page for information. In addition, the school frequently offers opportunities for foreign travel during school vacations as optional enrichment opportunities for academics or community service. TSA has organized student trips in the past to Spain, Italy, France, the UK, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Mexico and Belize. We plan to continue offering opportunities such as these.
