"Teach to Learn"

Not all our students wish to be teachers, but we believe teaching is one of the best ways to learn. As tutors, mentors, and assistants, TPA students become leaders to children in all grade levels within the Jefferson community.

Our Partner Schools: Harmony Elementary School and Carver Middle School

World of Education students go to Harmony to tutor each week. As seniors, TPA students work as interns in our partner schools. In addition, core content classes present lessons to younger students.
