Our core curriculum<\/a> follows a liberal arts approach and includes instruction in Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Tate\u2019s was the first primary school in Tennessee to become a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) campus. Today, every grade, from preschool to middle school, participates in Engineering Design Challenges utilizing the Engineering Design Process.<\/p>\n

Advanced academics<\/strong> is the cornerstone of our philosophy to educate and challenge the whole child. Students engage in an accelerated curriculum which begins in preschool and culminates in rigorous PRE-AP course instruction in middle school. Small class sizes allow teachers to provide challenging instruction and deliver more content. Academic excellence is our expectation. Graduates are consistently placed with the high school of their choice.<\/p>\n

Each student is provided instruction tailored to their academic readiness, interests, and learning styles.<\/strong> Whether a student is average, above average, or gifted, Tate\u2019s teachers will use differentiated instruction techniques to help students thrive, progress, and enjoy learning. Students tackle structured learning with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking in the context of real world problem-solving. As students focus on academic success, they learn how to develop a \u201cGrowth Mindset,\u201d where challenges are welcomed, mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities, and perseverance is the norm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Teaching Model<\/h2>\n<\/div>

The Instructional Model in practice at Tate\u2019s School is the Highly Effective Teaching<\/strong> (HET) model in use for the past 40 years across the United States, Europe, and Asia. This model, combined with brain-compatible learning<\/strong>, vigorously challenges students through multiple instructional techniques and strong character development.<\/p>\n

Current research continues to show us how the brain learns new information, which allows us to better tailor our curriculum and instructional strategies to enhance your child\u2019s learning experience. Project Based Learning<\/strong> is an essential method for instruction in 3rd<\/sup> \u2013 8th<\/sup> grade. Students work to solve meaningful problems for extended periods of time, investigating and responding to complex challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
