God's Opportunities for Learning Differences

In our deep desire to meet the learning needs of our students, TMA created the G.O.L.D. program. We recognize that God provides gifts and talents to each person to bring him glory and to advance his kingdom on earth. With this in mind, our goal is to provide effective academic, emotional, social, and spiritual support to students who demonstrate an academic profile that indicates either a struggle or a giftedness in a specific area.

Our goal is to provide effective academic, emotional, social and spiritual support to our students.
