TLA Academic Philosophy
Rooted in student-centered culture, the LIGHT Academy provides holistic support to students using the Student-tailored Tool for Advising and Teaching (STAT) inclusive of Multiple Intelligences Assessments, student preferences, and family feedback. The collection of academic and personal characteristics of each student affords educators at the LIGHT Academy the opportunity to teach and connect with students in ways that are meaningful and impactful for each student. True connection and individualized support lead to academic and personal success not only for students, but also families and the larger local and global communities.
