TKA views the 6th-grade year as a transition year into the 7th-12th grade program. The emphasis for our younger students is placed upon getting acclimated to the larger school, to the diversity of a combined junior high and high school, to having multiple teachers, and to cultivating more personal responsibility for their studies. Once that foundation has been set, TKA welcomes students to engage in the more competitive aspects of junior high and high school honor societies and honor rolls.
