About Us

The path to middle school success includes great leadership, engaged instructional staff, and engaged students. At TVMS, we raise and purposefully develop each unique strength for students and staff so we can influence others and create an innovating and caring learning environment for all.

Thomas Viaduct was designed to lead in both energy and design, making students the forefront of every facet of our practice. Our three TVMS “touchstones” infuse every aspect of this innovative learning environment and involve every member of the school community: connect, collaborate, and create.

CONNECT – Students and teachers will discover their natural strengths and interests. Classroom projects will connect learning activities with the larger world through advanced technology. Families will be invited to take an active role in learning activities and school events.

COLLABORATE – Students will regularly work on learning projects in small groups to solve problems and practice life and work skills. Teams of teachers will create cross-content lessons and share resources. Families will be invited to take an active role in school events and instructional planning, and collaborate with educators to foster each child’s success.

CREATE – Classrooms will be creative learning environments where art, music, and technology are infused throughout all subject areas. Each child will have opportunities to excel in the classroom through creative projects that tap into individual strengths and interests. Families will be encouraged to explore enrichment resources and share how learning relates to the outside world, both at home and at school. Four innovative signature programs will engage every TVMS student in learning and inspire their personal growth. These initiatives offer excellent potential to enhance teaching and learning at TVMS.
