This school has made a tremendous difference in my son's affect and well-being. He is curious and talkative and excited now at TSA and we frequently hear about his progress. The teachers there know him.

Before my children started attending TSA, I had no idea what it was about except that it had a reputation for academic rigor. But it goes so much farther than that. The entire faculty works as a team to coordinate their dealings with every student. TSA consistently ranks at the top of VSAC surveys of graduating seniors on questions of mutual student/teacher respect, rigor and challenge, opportunities to think independently and creatively, and accommodation of different learning styles. The school is kept small enough that every teacher knows every students by name. Tuition is kept at a level the state will fully reimburse towns for, so it is accessible to everyone regardless of economic situation, and the small size effectively prevents the formation of social strata that distress many students in larger schools. I have never seen such a cohesive and supportive community as we have found at TSA. It is not for everyone, but it is available and accessible to students who are committed to studying hard and participating fully in their school and society.
