UTTUA is a smart choice

 

Welcome to UTTUA Palestine!

The UT Tyler University Academy at Palestine is a K–12 public university lab charter school dedicated to integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education into daily classroom learning. Our project-based instructional model and rigorous academic environment equip students with the critical 21st-century skills needed for future success.

We are proud of the innovative work happening every day on our Palestine campus. Through Project-Based Learning, students engage in authentic, real-world challenges that promote collaboration, problem-solving, and independent inquiry. Our teachers serve as facilitators, guiding students through the learning process and empowering them to take ownership of their education. Beginning in 9th grade, students have the opportunity to earn Dual Credit through our partnership with UT Tyler, preparing them to be university-ready and core complete by graduation.

Our campus culture is supportive, caring, and student-centered. At UA Palestine, we have strong family involvement and deep community engagement that enrich the student experience and strengthen our campus culture. Our committed staff and leadership team work collaboratively to ensure that every student feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
