HISTORY

The logos of our schools that we used in the previous period

We are North Carolina’s growing network of high-performing non-profit public charter schools focusing on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics). We serve more than 3,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade on six campuses in North Carolina.

We are tuition-free and operated by an independent board of directors. Our first school, Triad Math and Science Academy (TMSA Triad), was established in 2008 by a group of public charter school advocates who supported compelling, diverse, and well-funded public charter schools. As increasingly high demand exceeded the number of seats available, TMSA Triad was followed by Triangle Math and Science Academy (TMSA Triangle) in 2012. Our newest school, The Math and Science Academy of Apex (TMSA Apex), opened its doors in Fall 2022. Queen City STEM School, founded in Charlotte in 2015, joined the TMSA family as The Math and Science Academy of Charlotte (TMSA Charlotte) in June 2022.
