Triad Math and Science Academy (TMSA Triad) Announces Opening of TMSA McLeansville Campus

 

McLeansville, NC — Triad Math and Science Academy (TMSA), a high-performing public charter school network serving the Triad since 2008, is proud to announce the opening of TMSA McLeansville Campus, a K–8 public charter school, scheduled to welcome students in August 2026.

Located at 5420 Millstream Road in McLeansville, the new campus marks a significant milestone in TMSA’s ongoing growth and commitment to expanding access to rigorous, STEM-focused public education. Designed to serve families in eastern Guilford County and surrounding communities, the TMSA McLeansville Campus will provide a high-quality learning environment grounded in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

The new campus will be housed in a 147,000-square-foot office building, This building will be ultimately converted to include classrooms, a cafeteria, a play field, and administrative offices. An additional gym and play fields will be added to complete the school campus. 

The decision to open the McLeansville Campus follows an extensive feasibility study confirming strong community demand, record charter school waitlists, and a growing population of school-aged children in the area. The study also shows that hundreds of current and prospective TMSA students live closer to the Millstream Road site than to existing campuses, making the new location both accessible and strategically aligned with family needs.

“For nearly two decades, Triad Math and Science Academy has been committed to delivering high-quality public education rooted in academic excellence and opportunity,” said Mr. Ben Karaduman, TMSA Superintendent. “Opening TMSA McLeansville Campus in August 2026 allows us to serve families who have been seeking strong public education options closer to home, while staying true to our mission of preparing students for success through a rigorous, student-centered STEAM education.”

TMSA McLeansville Campus will serve grades K–8, eventually enrolling up to 900 students. This phased approach ensures thoughtful growth, strong staffing, and the preservation of TMSA’s high academic standards as the campus develops.

Across its existing campuses, Triad Math and Science Academy has earned significant recognition for exceptional student growth, including achieving 4 years in a row of positive academic growth rate and being rated with a 'B' status by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) for two consecutive years. The McLeansville Campus will extend this legacy, offering families a seamless K–8 pathway and reinforcing TMSA’s role as a leader in public charter education in the Triad area.
