Upper School

At Tuscaloosa Academy, we believe that a student's time in the Upper School is as much about discovering their niche in life as having the freedom, opportunity, and encouragement to explore and become the best they can be. The school's campus offers an environment rich in time and facilities, allowing the unique potential of each student to emerge and thrive.

We are committed to developing every student and staff member to their full potential by providing a well-balanced academic, life-skills, athletic, and artistic program. Our students thrive with small classes, where they are exposed to a college preparatory curriculum that follows a traditional course of study while encouraging technology, project-based learning, cutting-edge labs, and classes. The Upper School offers a wide variety of advanced core subject courses, electives, and independent study opportunities that align with the interests of students while providing a challenging and engaging academic experience. Our college preparatory curriculum prepares students to find their "best fit" at a university or college.

We believe in a balanced education while encouraging our students to use all the opportunities our school provides to develop their abilities and talents. We emphasize our core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, and loyalty. We create a sense of belonging that extends well beyond a student's time at Tuscaloosa Academy.
