Academics

University of Texas at Tyler University Academy is dedicated to fostering a student-centered learning environment that prioritizes academic excellence, innovation, and personalized support. Grounded in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards, our curriculum ensures students are well-prepared to excel on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) while cultivating the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for lifelong success.

Innovative Instructional Strategies

We implement cutting-edge teaching methodologies, such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PrBL), to engage students in meaningful, real-world applications of their learning. These strategies encourage collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking by challenging students to solve complex problems and complete authentic projects tied to their curriculum. By linking academic content with practical applications, students develop a deeper understanding of subject matter while honing their leadership and teamwork abilities.

STEM Programs and PLTW Integration

To equip students with the skills needed for success in a technology-driven world,  UT Tyler University Academy offers integrated STEM programming, including Project Lead The Way (PLTW). Through PLTW, students gain hands-on experience in engineering, computer science, and biomedical science, fostering curiosity and innovation. These programs are designed to inspire students to pursue STEM-related careers by combining rigorous academics with engaging, inquiry-based activities.

Our charter school is committed to the professional growth of educators and the academic success of every student. We employ highly qualified instructional coaches and curriculum specialists who work closely with teachers to enhance instructional practices, align lessons to TEKS standards, and implement innovative teaching strategies. These experts provide ongoing professional development, classroom modeling, and targeted support, ensuring that both teachers and students thrive.
