Texas Education Agency Open Enrollment Charter School.
The UT Tyler Innovation Academy (UTTIA) is a university charter public school. The charter was approved by the State Board of Education in 2012. The UTTIA opened locations at each of the UT Tyler Campuses in the same year:
University of Texas Tyler
University of Texas Tyler-Longview
University of Texas Tyler-Palestine
The mission of the UT Tyler University Academy is to develop scholars who leave school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) College and Career Ready. STEM College Ready indicates scholars are prepared to enroll in a STEM Major at a university. Typically this means they are calculus ready upon graduation or have completed calculus in high school.
"The University of Texas at Tyler University Academy is a kindergarten through 12th grade public charter school focusing on STEM education through hands-on, real life learning."
