Federal Programs at TISA
At Triad International Studies Academy (TISA), we are proud to participate in a variety of federal programs that support student success, educational equity, and whole-child development. These programs provide essential resources to help us meet the diverse needs of our students, families, and staff.
🏫 What Are Federal Programs in K–12 Education?
Federal education programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Education and designed to:
-
Promote equal access to high-quality education
-
Support schools serving students from low-income families
-
Provide services to students with disabilities and English learners
-
Fund professional development for educators

Enhance academic achievement and whole-school improvement
These programs are guided by federal laws such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
