About TAG
Faculty
Truly exceptional teachers are the main reason that a TAG Members education is so valuable while being so thoroughly enjoyable
Beginning in TAG Members, students change classes with each subject, so they are taught by teachers who are dedicated to a single subject area and are absolutely passionate about it.
Because our teachers are passionate about their specific subject areas, they delight in constantly looking for new and creative ways to introduce your child to new content and explore it more deeply. Our program is always evolving. The net result is an environment where your child will not only learn more but will also have fun in the process.
Our teachers love being at The TAG Members and engaging with such eager, motivated, and happy students. This is reflected in our low teacher turnover rate and long average tenure.

Truly love to teach.
Enjoy working with children – and help to fill each day with the spirit of gratitude, discovery, and curiosity.
Are hired to teach specific subjects – those that they are passionate about and enjoy teaching.
Inspire and nurture their students, guiding them into a deeper understanding of their identity, their personal goals, and their social skills.
Constantly innovate – looking for novel and creative ways to introduce content and explore it more deeply.
Use age-appropriate learning experiences.
Minimize repetition.
Know how to gauge the capacity of their students – and ensure that no one is bored, disengaged, or struggling.
Cultivate respectful dialogue between students and promote acceptance of students’ unique perspectives and insights.
Work in pairs; a minimum of two adults are always present in the classroom to ensure the safety and academic progress of your children.
Have the time to engage your child more deeply, introduce alternate projects, and motivate your children to express their creativity.
Assign a minimal amount of homework.
Are serious about learning, but promote a light-hearted and fun approach to it.
