ADVENTURE STUDIO

Middle School

6th - 8th Grade

Adventure Studio is where middle schoolers don’t just survive - they thrive. Adventure learners are curious about themselves, their communities, and their world and are ready to think more deeply and develop strong character. These learners take responsibility for their own education, follow their curiosities, and root themselves in experiences beyond the studio that foster an exploration of their natural talents, interests, and passions.

What Makes Adventure Studio Special

Freedom

"Learning to Live Together"

Middle school at TVS prioritizes collaboration, compassion, respect, and accountability. We trust young people to learn from their experiences and believe reflection is one of life's greatest teachers.
Job Shadowing

Learners often pursue job shadow opportunities in the community that are aligned with their passions, ranging from the National Park Service to tech companies to local bakeries - the opportunities are endless!
