The TechStart Model
In our TechStart program, students become proficient in problem-solving through data analysis and team projects. Teachers work with confidence-building models to help kids master core subjects, including math, science and writing. Students learn to communicate effectively through creative research, writing and public speaking assignments. They master software applications that facilitate learning and communication. All of our teaching modules prepare students to embrace real-life challenges and opportunities.
The TechStart elementary school experience builds a solid foundation for middle and high school and gets kids excited for future successes in higher education. By the time TechStart students begin their middle school years, they are confident, eager and ready to enter TAF Academy, our full-day school for grades 6-12.
