Delivering More for Today's Families

Today's families demand more.
TNAACS stands out with its innovative mix of robust, tuition-free academics, student-centered approach, project-based focus, and online learning options. We are unmatched in developing well-rounded individuals through enrichment opportunities.

Our dynamic curriculum makes learning leap off the page—and into action! From hands-on math and integrated science and social studies to literacy workshops, we've reimagined education to spark curiosity and engagement. Beyond the books, our students thrive in physical fitness, crack computer coding challenges, and master music on keyboards. Free online learning options give students access to iReady lessons and Seesaw. Plus, bustling after-school programs, staffed by our dedicated team, keep the excitement going after the bell rings.

Lifelong Learning

Strong to the Core

Cohort Education


At TNAACS, your child is part of a close-knit learning family of 65 to 70 students, guided by a dedicated teaching team and led by seasoned educators. Students stay with the same group from kindergarten through second grade before moving to a new team for grades three to five. This three-year "looping approach" deepens bonds and enriches learning, ensuring a stable, supportive environment. The program is led by an experienced Director of Teaching and Learning, who empowers and enriches the student experience and home-to-school connection. Plus, our open-door policy means you’re always welcome to join in and see the magic happen!

Building Bonds, Shaping Futures

Education Through Relationships

At the core of whole-child education is the fundamental belief that community is essential. By developing strong, healthy connections between students and educators, we create a nurturing environment that supports academic achievement and social-emotional growth. This relationship-based approach empowers students to thrive in all aspects of their lives, building a foundation for lifelong success.
