Testimonials
" The relationships shared between teachers and students set me up for success, and aided in shaping me into the man I have become." - Martin Hellyer, TA '11
" Tidewater Academy did a great job of preparing me for college and life after college. The skills I learned in the classroom and on the basketball court such as responsibility, persistence, critical thinking, and overcoming adversity have made me who I am today. I credit TA for giving me a great environment in which to learn, compete, and thrive." - Cameron Westbrook, TA '04
