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
Hour Zero
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.
1:00 P.M.
Community Service
All first year students leave in buses to participate in packaging 10,000 meals for families in Collier County at the Meals of Hope Naples warehouse before returning to campus at 3:00.
Students are presented with many volunteer opportunities within the school year. All Upper School students are required to complete 120 service hours for graduation. They are also welcome to find unique opportunities based on their interests and passions outside of school.
The Upper School stays active in giving back to the community. Here are just a few service projects they have completed in the past:
- All first year students complete a service project together on the PSAT half day
- Spanish club students collected clothes and items for children in need in South America.
- Students made snuffle mats for animals at The Humane Society.
- Students painted fences across the street at Naples Therapeutic Riding Center.
- Students cleaned trails of debris at Rookery Bay.
- Students helped spread mulch and clean up the gardens at the Naples Botanical Garden.
