FAQ
Is pickup available to all students? Is there an additional fee?
Students who are enrolled in the full-day program will be provided pickup and drop off service as part of their camp enrollment. The pickup/drop off service is not available for students who are enrolled in only a select morning (enrichment only) or afternoon (computer coding only/ art only) camps. For routes, timings, and driver contact info see your welcome packages.
Does TAS provide food for students during lunch time?
TAS does not provide lunch or food to students. Students are responsible for bringing their own lunch and snacks to TAS every day. On select days when TAS holds special events and activities, some food will be served. However, students are still encouraged to bring their own food on these days. These dates, activities, and times can be found in your welcome package.
What happens if a field trip is cancelled or delayed?
In the event of a trip cancellation or delay, all parents will be notified and TAS will make necessary changes to that day’s schedule. If the trip was scheduled to go all day, TAS will revert back to its regular schedule of tutoring followed by electives and an activity. If the field trip is running late returning to TAS, parents will be contacted by email with the adjusted pickup or drop-off time.
Can I ask a family friend or relative to pick up my child?
No. We can only release children to the family member, or additional pickup persons identified in the TAS Additional Contact Form. If parents would like to add additional individuals to their list they must do so in person, not over the phone or through email.
Do you provide food or lunch for kids?
We provide time for kids to finish eating their lunch before starting homework. We do not provide food for children. They must bring their lunch from home.

“I’ve been with my tutor for about one year. You wouldn’t believe how far I’ve come from when I started. I was having trouble with math and science, and I was considering changing my college major as a result.
