Why TISA?
Being the first public charter school in Piedmont Triad area that offers several language immersion options including Chinese, Spanish, French, and Japanese in K-8, TISA makes commitment to provide innovative and unique educational opportunity for our students from all backgrounds. TISA stands out as an excellent choice for your child's education advocacy due to its four distinctive features.
Thank you for trusting TISA as your child(ren)'s education advocator.
Multi-language Immersion
TISA's immersion model requires no prior knowledge of Chinese, Spanish, or any target language for enrollment. It also allows students to explore multiple languages before choosing their long-term preferences. At TISA, the choice is yours.
Strong
Academics
TISA prioritizes academics through an accelerated curriculum, differentiated instruction, and gifted education, aiming to consistently exceed the Local Education Authority (LEA) average in annual academic performance as per the North Carolina READY accountability model.
Leadership Education
TISA integrates leadership education into our curriculum, offering a comprehensive program tailored to individual needs and interests across all grade levels. This initiative aims to nurture students' leadership capabilities and empower them to become change-making leaders.
World Culture Education
TISA students not only explore American and target language cultures but also engage in a dedicated World Culture course as an encore. This enriching initiative aims to promote diversity appreciation and global awareness.
