TMSC’s Summer of STEM Adventures gives students in grades K-8 the chance to explore some (very) cool science, nature and technology – all on a one-of-a-kind mountaintop campus! Imagine a school where intellectually-excited students are academically challenged and encouraged to explore new ideas and new ways of thinking. Imagine this school on a mountaintop – a safe, unique and inspiring place to learn, grow and become part of a one-of-a-kind community.
