Faculty & Staff

Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing an UNLIMITED educational experience that nurtures and stimulates student growth. With diverse backgrounds and a wealth of experience, they bring unique perspectives to our educational community, fostering a culture of respect, curiosity, and excellence. At TKS, we prioritize faculty excellence through ongoing professional development, ensuring our educators remain at the forefront of educational best practices.

TKS employs a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) for specialized support in our Dyslexia Learning Program, ensuring that students with specific learning needs receive expert care. Our commitment to professional development enhances the quality of instruction, allowing our teachers to implement the latest educational methodologies.

Located in the vibrant Sunset Hill area of Oak Cliff, TKS is deeply ingrained in the local community. We celebrate diversity and inclusivity, welcoming all family dynamics and ensuring a supportive environment for every student. Our "TKS Cares" community service program encourages students to participate in meaningful projects that benefit local charities, fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to the broader community.

Our adoption of the Responsive Classroom approach highlights our dedication to creating a supportive and effective learning environment. This evidence-based educational approach focuses on the strong link between academic success and social-emotional learning, helping students develop essential life skills such as empathy, resilience, and teamwork.
