TSA Elementary School

    I hope your year is off to a terrific start. Excitement is in abundance at Tattnall Square Academy as we move towards the end of the first quarter. October and November promise to be full of learning centered activities in all the classrooms with many other events, such as the Fall Festival, scheduled as well.

    I recently spent three days in South Carolina as part of a peer accreditation review team for SAIS. The peer reviews occur every five years and basically we recommend based on our visit, to approve or deny the school’s application for accreditation. The five person team consisted of two from Georgia, two from South Carolina and one from North Carolina. The team reviews the school’s improvement plan, operating procedures and vision for the future. A byproduct of this visit is the ability to discuss independent education with experienced and qualified educators who are part of the review team. Brainstorming solutions to common problems was a definite highlight of the trip for me. Listening to administrators from other schools discuss issues such as finances, student learning and discipline to name a few was both enlightening and informative.

    Everyone was in agreement, independent schools face similar problems but by working together we can and do make a significant difference in the lives of our students. Collaboration is definitely an important component of a 21st century education.

    I returned to TSA enthusiastic about our faculty and what we have accomplished to this point but even more energized about what we will achieve in the future. Our goal is to be partners with you in the education of your children. We will encounter the daily trials and tribulations of school life, but we will remain enthusiastically committed to our students and their success.

We believe Tattnall Square Academy is poised for greatness and I’m excited, as I hope you are, to be a part of this learning community.
