Hands-On, Joyful Education

Since opening our doors for families in 2014, Beyond the Books Academy has been a trusted, safe place for quality education and learning that includes the whole family.

Learning Without Limits

Families choose BTBA because they become active partners in shaping their child's education. Our curriculum goes beyond the basics with immersive learning through play that celebrates the diverse backgrounds of the families we serve.

 

With small class sizes, your child gets the attention and care they deserve, and our educators build lessons to reflect the culture and experiences they bring with them.

Children Are the Heart of Our Legacy

Our founder, Tanisha Taylor Jones, dreamed of a school that felt like a true village, a place where children, parents, and educators grow together.

 

Here, families know their children are supported, encouraged, and given the confidence to start their learning journey surrounded by community.​

 

For over 10 years, our caring educators have created joyful classrooms where every child learns at their own pace, and students are equipped with the values they'll carry far beyond the classroom.

A Community That Values Every Voice

We believe children thrive when every part of them is cared for, and that happens best when families are part of the journey too.

 

With Monthly Projects, Literacy Nights, and community adventures, we create opportunities for learning that continue at home while giving your family ways to grow and build lasting connections together.
