We've been happy with our child's education at TIMA. We love that they get to explore the island and incorporate that into their curriculum. We really enjoy TIMA's small close knit environment. We would love to see them get upgraded facilities and even continue growing to high school. We would also like to see the transportation expanded to allow more children to ride the bus.
