BOUNDLESS ENRICHMENT

Melisa Garcia, Director of Auxiliary Programs

Curiosity sparks our desire to explore, learn, and grow, opening doors to exciting discoveries. At TVS, students can choose from a variety of enrichment programs each semester, ranging from baton twirling to chess, as well as dance, technology, robotics, and the arts.

Our TVS Auxiliary Program offers numerous classes designed to inspire students and the wider community. We work closely with community partners and TVS faculty and staff to create a diverse catalog that follows best practices. Weekly programs run for 12-16 weeks and meet after school, starting at 3:30 PM. This semester, we are thrilled to offer 45 different enrichment classes from Monday to Friday for grades Pre-K to 8.

We value feedback from our families to improve our programs, making sure they align with our students' interests and mission. Our goal is to introduce new activities alongside beloved favorites that engage and enrich students beyond the school day.

XPLORE: Summer at TVS 

Xplore: Summer at TVS provides participants with safe, unique, and enjoyable learning experiences. Each year, more than 1,000 participants, ages 4-17, attend at least one camp or program, with many returning for multiple weeks! We welcome students from the Fort Worth area and beyond to join us. 

In XPLORE 2024, we provided more than 180 camps over nine weeks from May 28 to August 1. Two-thirds of the families participating in the summer programs were from TVS (68.2%), and the remaining 31.8% represented families from the broader community. More than 50% of families took part in two to six camps. Each year, we also offer Jump Starts, which are camps exclusive to TVS families. Jump Starts help ease your child into our TVS community and campus.

You can explore individual camps or full-day programs on our CampBrain site. For updated information about XPLORE 2025, please visit the TVS XPLORE Summer page. The XPLORE 2025 catalog will be available online and sent to TVS families on January 8. Registration will open exclusively for our families on January 15 and for the broader community on January 22 at 12 PM.

Don't forget to wear your sunscreen, and we hope you will join us next summer!
