Through the collaborative efforts of a world-class team of innovative educators – TPAAK builds confident students who deeply understand the heart, head, and hands of the fine arts. The Academy’s interdisciplinary literacy and world culture curriculum, rooted in the fine arts, studies the origins and fruits of all civilizations – the arts, the sciences, and the cultures therein – resulting in each student’s fundamental and accomplished literacy skills to last a lifetime.
TPAAK’s educational plan is founded upon the intersection and integration of fine arts, literacy, world cultures, and the skills and understandings of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Together each of these pillars of TPAAK’s vision come together to drive, inspire, and dedicate a K-5 learning community. The pedagogical framework of TPAAK results in significant literacy achievement as a result of the integration of the pillars.
Furthermore, the methodology of project-based learning has been a staple of TPAAK over the years and continues to be a cornerstone of how the pedagogy is delivered. In addition, the tenants of place-based learning — where students contribute to and learn from the community – will inform and shape the implementation of the fine arts, literacy, and world culture/history curriculum.
In effect, TPAAK promises to each and every family the highest quality of personalized learning and delivers it through a project-based curriculum of integrated fine arts, literacy, world cultures, and foundational STEM skills.
