      Elementary School provides a Character Education Program for all Elementary students. The Elementary School Character Education Program meets once a week to promote Character Education. Teachers prepare many different types of activities to engage students in learning and practicing positive character traits such as honesty, responsibility and empathy.

       Character Education is a normal part of the curriculum at the Middle and High School levels. All teachers teach, model, and reinforce positive character traits to all students. Teachers use the TYAS Teachers Handbook and the Parent and Student Handbook to help guide and reinforce student behavior. Teachers and School Level Directors meet with students individually to help reinforce ethical behavior.
