Tahoe Expedition Academy

If you want something that’s safe and comfortable, TEA is not for you. On the other hand, if your ideal is to immerse yourself in a creative community where every day brings new opportunities to innovate and explore, come talk to us. Click here to view our current openings.

Our approach is holistic, so we’re looking for special people to be a part of our CommuniTEA. To inspire our students to get out of their comfort zones (intellectually, emotionally and physically), our teachers lead by example. Whether it’s inside the classroom, leading students through rugged backcountry or vibrant urban environments there’s no room for “autopilot” at TEA.

We value traditional fundamental knowledge and skills. We’re standards-based, but how our students get to those standards goes way beyond traditional delivery. Character education is central to everything we do, so we’re looking for people of strong character that are able to connect with students and collaborate effectively as a TEAcher TEAm. Real-world adventure powered by Constructive Adversity is perhaps the thing that most distinguishes TEA. Real-world, authentic learning that connects to real life builds intrinsic motivation, enduring understanding, and real-world skills that allow our students to be successful in whatever life throws their way. Struggling with Constructive Adversity grows students’ self-efficacy, confidence, and competence.
