Welcome to our warm and vibrant family of nonprofit public charter schools, where our passion for learning shines brightly in every classroom!

TMSA educators have hearts full of passion and dedication to seeing our students reach their best. Hands-on STEAM learning ignites a love for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. We empower graduates to confidently tackle tomorrow's challenges and thrive in their chosen paths, whether in college, their careers, or life. We’re shaping a brighter, more innovative future!

Curiosity.                            Competence.

          Community.                   Character.

The best education nurtures not just the mind but the heart and spirit too. Our holistic approach encompasses character education, social-emotional learning, ethics, and athletics, alongside rigorous academics. We cultivate leadership, empowerment, and ethical awareness in every student. The TMSA character education program significantly reduces behavioral issues while boosting attendance and academic performance. Supported by our school counselor, students engage in varied activities and lessons, growing as responsible individuals and community role models. Families play a key role in extending these values into the home. Each month, we explore different character traits, celebrating our school's diversity as a source of strength and unity, creating a safe, inclusive environment where every child can thrive and contribute positively to the world.
