We just love TEA! My child started there in 4th grade and will be in 8th next school year. He has grown so much and is so serious about his work. Some of the concepts he is taught are exceptional. His confidence is soaring and he loves all the sports offered!

I can't think of a better school to help prepare kids for the evolving world we're living in. TEA has been amazing for our 2 girls, now in their 4th year with TEA. They LOVE going to school every day, are challenged and inspired and are living the 'Real World Problem Solver' motto that TEA promotes. It's truly a unique place and we're grateful every day we found TEA.

After we left Tahoe Expedition Acadamy, our girls were at least one full grade behind. Overall we were highly disappointed and underwhelmed with the program. The average family attracted to the Sierra's will have the ability to navigate the outdoors and soon realize the lack of planning is not constructive adversity as they call it but the result of poor planning and lack of resources.

TEA has been helpful to teach my husband and I to be better parents, and for my son a center for joy and learning.
