Highly Structured, Individualized Learning Environment

We provide students with a strong academic curriculum that includes multi-sensory teaching methods delivered in small class settings. Students at TFA are able to develop learning styles consistent with the strengths of their own minds through consistent processes and careful observation.

Prior to each school year, we individually prepare each students’ course schedule to match their ability level and goals.

Our Whole School Approach

Our students thrive here because each day is filled with activities and social connections that provide a warm and tight-knit community. Because of our highly structured environment, we are able to help each student integrate extra-curricular activities and social skills development, ensuring they develop a positive sense of responsibility.

We help students develop goals, which are reinforced through daily communication with families. All activities are provided with the same careful design as our tailored academic programs. We pride ourselves in our ability to nurture the whole child with a whole school environment.
