As a free public charter school, TVM represents a choice that parents and guardians make for the best education of their child. We are proud to offer an array of additional opportunities that set us apart from surrounding traditional public schools.
Making the choice on which school to send your child is one of the most important and influential choices you can make to ensure their future success and should not be taken lightly. You are certainly making the correct choice when deciding to re-enroll and/or enroll your child at TVM. When enrolling your child at TVM, you are making a choice to provide your child with individualized instruction, low student to teacher ratio, and opportunities that reach far beyond that of our neighboring schools including:
Unique Opportunities for Our Students:
- A Montessori school hybrid approach that addresses Florida state standards while also functioning as a public charter school: A unique educational model that combines the child-centered, individualized learning philosophy of Montessori with the structured requirements of state education standards.
- Monthly Field Studies: Our students participate in monthly field studies that enrich their learning and grade-level curriculum with outside community educational experiences.
- Student/Family Group Trips: Throughout their years at TVM, students and families have the chance to engage in group trips both out of state and country, providing invaluable learning and bonding experiences.
- Extensive Physical Education Program: Unlike traditional public schools where physical education takes place solely on school grounds with one instructor, our Seadragons in grades 4-8 benefit from:
- Swim instruction by an Olympic medalist and coach
- Tennis lessons from a local tennis pro
- Pickleball classes by a professional coach
- Yoga by certified yoga instructors
- Kayaking and paddle board lessons by trained professionals
- Team sports through Coach Lesa, a former collegiate coach
