Self directed learning
The school features a self-directed learning program that will have students spend the majority of their time at the school Outside of their classes, in open study areas known as Great Hall. Students are encouraged to be self motivated and to decide to what subjects to allocate their open study time.[7] The courses at Thomas Haney consist of "Learning Guides", which, in most cases, are to be completed at the student's own pace. All students are also assigned a Teacher Advisor[7], commonly known as TA, whom they will see every morning during teacher advisory time. A student's TA will act as a guide and mentor to the student, helping them manage their schoolwork, and helping guide them through their school career.
