About Us
The Tuscaloosa Magnet School (TMSE) is recognized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School as well as a 2014 National Blue Ribbon school. TMSE is also a National School of Character where we live by our Core Values; respect; critical thinking, principled, caring and integrity.
An academic magnet school, the Tuscaloosa Magnet School delivers an inquiry-based curriculum to students in grades one through five from each of the other 12 elementary programs in the system. In addition to a rigorous academic program, students are engaged in school-wide enrichment with opportunities to experience service learning, interest-based clubs, foreign language instruction, the fine arts and an award-winning physical education program.
TMSE Core Values
Tuscaloosa Magnet Schools-Elementary (TMSE) strives to "Color the World with Character" through our daily actions and words. This is heavily implemented through our Core Values: Caring, Principled, Respect, Critical Thinker, and Integrity. With an overall goal to create a positive environment for all stakeholders, our core values guide instruction, daily language, interactions, and the impact we leave on others throughout TMSE. The core values are embedded within our school pledge and are discussed continuously throughout the school year. Teachers use the core values to guide class discussions and expectations for behavior and social interactions. This year, each core value is paired with a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Focus. We invite you to join in on the discussions at home to continue implementing these important and meaningful values at home. Some examples include showing respect and cleaning up before leaving a room or being principled and doing the right thing, even when others are not around.
Our mission is to motivate students to discover knowledge, create a better world, and serve in a way that respects others.
