We Make College Come True!
Choosing the right school for your child is a crucial decision. As a tuition free public charter school accredited by Cognia in Tucson, we are designed to meet each student's academic and social emotional needs.
We offer small class sizes, a safe and flexible learning environment, and a strong focus on college preparation. Unlike many large district schools, at Tucson International Academy teachers know each student by name and work closely with families to support their progress.
We proudly serve diverse Tucson communities and strive to make attending college a realistic goal for every student.

Our Core Values
The four pillars that guide everything we do.
Unapologetically Encouraging
We recognize that no student is the same. We always uplift and encourage each of our students to have the confidence to pursue their dreams.
Relentlessly Supportive
We want every student to have the tools to achieve all of their goals. We ensure that our entire community knows we care and support them.
Fiercely Independent
Our job is to teach our students how to think and not what to think. We believe in education, not indoctrination. We want our students to gain the ability to advocate for themselves.
