Statement of purpose
Case No. TMA–1993
A public middle and high school founded through collaboration with Abyssinian Development Corporation, the Manhattan High Schools Superintendent's Office, and New Visions for Public Schools.
Education should prepare young people not only to enter the world, but to change it.
TMA is committed to reflecting the spirit and life of Justice Thurgood Marshall and his commitment to positive social change.
Social change is integrated into advisory in the middle school and through classes, internships, and community service in the high school program.
