Academics
TMSA Virtual’s founding 7th-9th grade academic programs are fully aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, delivering a rigorous, standards-based experience through daily live instruction in core subjects. Students engage each morning in teacher-led courses designed to build strong academic foundations while emphasizing critical thinking, communication, and real-world application. With built-in pathways for acceleration and support, every learner is positioned for success and growth.
Beyond the core, students benefit from a well-rounded, future-focused experience that blends flexibility, personalization, and innovation:
Core Courses (Daily Live Instruction):
- English Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Science & Social Studies/History
Sample Elective Opportunities (Asynchronous + Teacher Supported):
- Computer Science / Coding Foundations
- Engineering & Design (STEAM)
- Digital Media & Communications
- Health & Wellness
Advanced Pathways (Early Exposure):
- STEAM Pathways (aligned to TMSA Signature Academies)
- AI Literacy Foundations (AI as Assistant → Coach)
Weekly Student Experience:
- Live core instruction (morning blocks)
- Flexible learning and electives (afternoon)
- Advisory and Success Coaching (live + async)
- Clubs and enrichment (optional, encouraged)
- Ongoing communication and progress monitoring through integrated platforms
This model ensures students are not only meeting state standards, but exceeding them through engaging, connected, and future-ready learning.
