School Age Admissions Procedures
Our school-age program focuses on the relationship between language development and academic instruction. Language learning ability is the cornerstone of all areas of academic learning. Parents are invited to tour Tiegerman and observe our unique program, including our transdisciplinary curriculum. Our tours are held monthly, and you can find these dates under "In-Person Tours".
