Tuscaloosa Academy
Quote: The teachers I had at Tuscaloosa Academy

Why Tuscaloosa Academy

Upper School. Beyond
Comparison.

 

The final crucial years. When the mind is developed and polished. It is a time of preparation above all, for adulthood looms and both self-sufficiency and confidence are the greatest lessons we can teach. For world awaits your child with one question: Is he ready?
 
We do more than our share with a lower teacher-student ratio, and a challenging course of instruction that echoes what students experience in college. From advanced placement courses that allow students to simultaneously earn college credits to concurrent enrollment at the University of Alabama, we provide the preparation that has allowed our students to go to the nation’s premier universities, from Harvard to Stanford and many others in between. And our continued emphasis on enrichment means a well-rounded education that the country’s elite schools seek the most.
 
So when the graduation ceremony begins, there is no question that your child is ready for the world. The only question left is if the world is ready for your child.
