Students who missed their scheduled placement testing session will have one final opportunity to complete their placement test during Griffin Gear Up on August 17 or August 18. This opportunity is only for students who have not already completed placement testing. If your student has already taken the placement test, they do not need to sign up or test again.

Placement testing will be happening during Griffin Gear Up (Freshman Connection).

Griffin Gear Up is our Welcome Week experience for all rising 9th grade students and will take place August 17–18. This two-day program is designed to help students transition into high school with confidence by becoming familiar with The Noble Academy campus, meeting teachers and staff, connecting with classmates, learning school expectations, and preparing for a successful freshman year.

As an added bonus, students can begin earning hours toward their Enrichment Credit requirement before the first day of school! Griffin Gear Up is highly recommended for all rising TNA 9th graders and is a great way to start the school year feeling prepared, connected, and confident.

A detailed email with everything you need to know—including the daily schedule, what to bring, arrival and dismissal procedures, important dates, and other key information—will be sent to all registered families prior to Griffin Gear Up. In the meantime, please reserve your student's spot by completing the RSVP form using the link below.

🔹 9th graders are embarking on their journey by visiting top programs like M2 Squared, Exeter Academy, and University of Chicago Collegiate Scholars.
🔹 10th graders are getting ready for Summer of a Lifetime, where they’ll experience life at colleges like Georgetown, Harvard, Brown, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
🔹 11th graders are taking their learning global, heading abroad to Barcelona, Rome, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Paris for their study abroad programs!

We are committed to providing students with transformative experiences that inspire them to dream big and achieve more. Stay tuned as they embark on these life-changing journeys! ✈️📚

At TNA, every college acceptance is a moment worth celebrating! Inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, our seniors receive a “Golden Ticket” when they are accepted to college.

Each ticket represents hard work, perseverance, and the belief that their future is bright. As acceptances roll in, we celebrate our seniors in a big way — honoring their achievements and reinforcing our strong college-going culture.

Congratulations to our seniors on earning their Golden Tickets!
