"EXCITING MENTAL APPETITES"
Purpose
Every child is entitled to an education. Parents want to feel comfortable and
competent in assisting their children to achieve their full potential. How can
parents excite the mental appetites of their children if their mental appetites are not excited? TES believes that parents and students should be actively engaged in the educational process, because we know that students who have parental support reach a high level of success. Those who don’t, struggle.
Vision
TES encourages and guides students and parents toward academic excellence; fostering family engagement, with an emphasis on cultural specificity. We infuse culturally responsive teaching into the curriculum so that each child can see themselves in the world-wide picture of humanity. We want every student and parent to experience success in academic achievement and global competency.
MISSion
TES offers services and guidance to students and parents in the pursuit of academic excellence. We serve families by integrating student learning with parental engagement, within our programs: Homeschooler’s Prep, (for homeschool students) and PAL, (for students in traditional schools).
We are committed to:
-
A sense of community
-
Diversity
-
Social responsibility and
-
Resilience
We pride ourselves on our dependability, customer satisfaction, and professionalism.
