Tahoe Expedition Academy (TEA) is an independent K-12 school pushing academic and intellectual boundaries by teaching outside the walls of a traditional classroom. Students engage in academic adventures, consult with professional experts and learn to think critically and creatively in a project-based learning approach that draws them to the limits of their social and personal comfort zones. Research shows learning happens more powerfully in this zone. Graduates of TEA will be prepared both for the finest universities in the country as well as successful and meaningful lives.
