My Day at TVS
Our Upper School uses a Modular Schedule. Our schedule rotates to ensure that every student will have the opportunity to learn during the time of day when they are at their best. The academic year is divided into six terms, each 28 days long.
8:00 A.M
Zero hour
While the school day hasn’t officially started, we have designated this time for clubs such as NHS, Knights Write, and Bible Study to meet before academics begin.
8:30 A.M.
Academics
Throughout the first half of their day, Upper School students take a range of courses, including English, History, Foreign Language, Science, Math and an Elective (Studio Art, Theater, Engineering, APs, etc.).
9:55 A.M.
WIN
“What I Need” time is incorporated into each day providing a period similar to study hall that allows students to meet with teachers for help and complete work if needed.
If there are important announcements that impact the entire Upper School to be shared, then this period will be used for an assembly.
On Wednesdays this time is used for Chapel service. The entire Upper School gathers in the North Naples Church (NNC) Sanctuary to listen, sing, think spiritually and pray.
11:50 A.M.
Lunch
With a no cell-phone policy in place, students break from learning and enjoy connecting on the campus picnic tables. All grades gather to enjoy Chef Amos’s delicious hot lunches. A nutritious salad bar is also always available, along with some healthy quick-take options. Some student favorites include orange chicken with lo mein, garlic bread, grab-and-go wraps, Philly cheese steak, and the LaCroix selection.

P.E.
Upper School P.E focuses on Strength & Conditioning. This course is designed to give students the opportunity to learn advanced strength training concepts and conditioning techniques used for obtaining optimal physical fitness and performance within a competitive setting. Students will benefit from a variety of comprehensive weight training techniques and endurance activities geared specifically toward their athletic pursuits. Students will learn advanced applications of strength training, overall fitness training, general preparedness, and conditioning. This course includes both lectures and activities. Students will be empowered to make informed choices, meet challenges head on, and develop positive behaviors in competitive athletics.
