In the toddler and preprimary classrooms, children study a different continent every month, while elementary classrooms study a different continent every semester to allow for more in-depth study. The continent study is integrated into the music and art curriculum and is constantly enriched by the cultural diversity of our students and staff. TMA is a small scale global community with many of our families either first or second generation Americans, representing thirty countries from around the world. We feel honored that many of the parents and children originating from different countries come to school to share and celebrate their traditions and culture in many diverse ways during the study of their respective geographic areas. This truly enhances the cultural awareness of our academic community.
Many parents spend time at the school volunteering in areas where they have expertise.
This commitment greatly increases the sense of community within our school. The children enjoy seeing their parents contributing to their environment and the parents in turn have a greater sense of involvement in their children's education. Facilities TMA is currently housed in two leased buildings in a business park in southwest Arlington, Texas. While the outside facades of the buildings are nondescript, the classrooms within are beautiful, prepared learning environments. Three years of planning have gone into creating a new facility whose quality will match the quality of the educational programs.
