We have had our kids here for 5 & 7 years. Overall, the school's philosophy works for our family, as the students spend a lot of time in the real world doing things. They also teach core academics well, and the student body seems to be pretty happy. We know the soft skills they are focusing on will prove invaluable for them as AI takes over the world. We also know the experiences they have every week help them connect their learning to the real world, which is exactly what we are looking for in a school.

TEA offers a modern experiential education experience! Students learn concepts in the classroom and then experience and apply them in the real world! TEA kids learn by doing—and are prepared not only for college but for life! We truly feel fortunate that our children are getting a TEA education!

I loved many things about Tahoe Expedition Academy. I love the hands-on learning and connection to real-world problems. Formulating personal skills and life skills was very important and done very well. The only thing I would have to say is not taking tests was definitely hard and a skill I wish they wouldn't taught to help with college.
