Our Approach
Museum School Learning
We believe that hands-on, minds-on immersive learning is the most effective way for students to learn. That's why we incorporate a range of experiential learning opportunities into our curriculum, from learning expeditions and service projects to outdoor education and project-based learning. These experiences help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them. Students will frequently attend learning expeditions within the community as an enhancement of the 100% TEKS and ELPS aligned curriculums they are engaged in. Teachers will do intentional collaborative work with partners to ensure alignment through all programming.​
Leadership Development
Imbedded within immersive learning is inherent opportunities for students to practice embodying leadership skills. Steven Covey has stated one of the most important leadership skills is self-awareness. We will leverage reflection for students to be able to know their interests and strengths as a leader and how to leverage them as they develop who they want to be going into high school, college, military and beyond.
Extended Day
In addition to our academic programs, we offer a range of extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their interests and discover their talents. From sports teams to chess club, there's something for everyone at TMS. Many of our offerings are based on student and parent surveys, with the goal of reflecting their wants and needs in our unique programming.
