Mission, Vision and Values

Mission

We aim to inspire the next generation of visionary problem-solvers by cultivating a joyful, principled, and diverse community of balanced learners for Puerto Rico and an ever-evolving world.


Our students are the center of our school.

Nurturing every trait of the Dolphin Learner Profile fosters lifelong success, meaning, and growth.

Vision

A dynamic, safe learning community where every student is empowered through inquiry, guided by principles, and inspired to achieve excellence in all aspects of the student experience, while leveraging our unique community to foster relevance and impact that will shape a better world.

Our sun-filled campus is open, welcoming, and purposefully designed for movement, play, and connection. Students learn and grow across spacious classrooms, shaded courtyards, athletic fields, and a newly upgraded covered court — all within the safe, walkable community of Palmas del Mar. Just minutes from the beach and surrounded by nature, TPA offers a truly unique learning environment where students feel at home and inspired every day.

A Campus Like No Other.

Three Divisions.
One Unified Vision.

Early Childhood

At TPA, Early Childhood begins at age 3, where our youngest learners grow through joyful exploration and hands-on discovery. Inspired by Montessori principles, the program encourages independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning—laying a strong foundation from the very beginning.

Elementary

In our Elementary program, students build strong academic foundations while continuing to grow as curious, confident, and compassionate learners. Small class sizes, responsive teachers, and a whole-child approach create classrooms where each child is known, supported, and celebrated.

Secondary School

Our Secondary program blends academic challenge with personal growth. Students take ownership of learning through a college-prep curriculum that includes Advanced Placement (AP) courses and real-world experiences. TPA graduates leave ready to lead with purpose and a 100% college acceptance rate.

Student Life at TPA

Experiencing TPA goes far beyond the classroom. Whether performing on stage, leading a club, or competing on the court, our students are encouraged to explore their interests and grow as confident, well-rounded individuals. With vibrant arts programs, competitive athletics, and a wide range of student-led activities, every student can find their place — and their voice — in our dynamic community.
