GRADE 3 WORK
Open lines of communication are extremely important at TMS.
TMS is a highly-supportive and connected community where relationships come first. Elementary students stay with the same teacher for three years, which creates a solid foundation for growth. They also have embedded mentoring from their peers because classes range over three grades.

They can creatively solve problems and bring innovative perspectives to thinking outside the box.
