The TKO academy is an individualized online learning system for Globe students facilitated by Globe teachers.

More information will be released soon about the online exclusive option and other in-person or hybrid options (pending further information from the Governor). All enrolled students/families will be given the opportunity to choose their preferred option . Thank you for your patience as we work towards solutions to safely educate our students. Go Tigers!
