TMS Clubs

After School Enrichment

Chess Club

Advanced Cognitive Skill Building: The Chess Club specifically develops higher-order thinking, strategic planning, problem-solving, and foresight—skills that are directly transferable to success in math and science classes.

Robotics Club

Hands-on STEM Application: The Robotics Club provides crucial, hands-on application of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world innovation and design.

Fostering Critical 21st-Century Skills: Both clubs promote essential skills like persistence, collaboration, iterative design (in Robotics), and critical decision-making (in Chess) in a fun, voluntary setting.

Boosting Student Engagement: The clubs increase student enthusiasm and attendance by offering extracurricular pathways for students to explore specific intellectual passions and connect with peers outside of the standard curriculum.
