We have third-generation families who are choosing to have their grandchildren attend Traylor Academy, even if they don’t live in the neighborhood.
We get to be involved in Kennedy High School’s celebrations, and partner with Henry World and Bear Valley International School in many activities.
We are 1-to-1 with Chromebooks from grades 1 through 5.
