The TLC Academy is a California Partnership Academy (CPA) program with additional grant-funding from the California Department of Education (CDE). CPA programs follow a cohort model. Grade level cohorts have academic and career elective courses together with TLC teachers, in academy exclusive sections on A/B days. The 2024-2025 TLC grade level cohort courses are as follows:

• 10th Grade - TLC English 10 (1st, Ms. Ternes), TLC Geometry (3rd, Ms. Mattos), TLC World History (4th, Mr. Williamson), TLC ROP Developmental Psychology of Children (7th, Mrs. Cailotto).
• 11th Grade - TLC US History (1st, Mr. Taylor), TLC English 11 (3rd, Ms. Ternes), TLC Algebra 2 (4th, Ms. Galindo), TLC Core (5th, Mrs. Cailotto).
• 12th Grade - TLC Internship (1st, Mrs Cailotto; plus optional 2nd period double-block), TLC ERWC (4th, Mr. Mauro), TLC Econ/Gov (7th, Mr. Taylor).

For over two decades, TLC Academy students have been impacting the community by supporting teachers and learners at local elementary schools, middle schools, and on campus at Liberty.

• TLC Sophomores work at Garin Elementary School 1-2 times per month as Lunch Recess Mentors and 1st Grade Reading Buddies during LUNCH + 7th period. The class walks together and back with Mrs. Cailotto and adult chaperone(s).
  
• TLC Juniors work with cooperating Mentor Teachers as job-shadowing interns on alternating Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays during 5th period. Job-shadowing interns report to mentor teachers by 8:30am and leave in time to make it to 6th period on campus. Interns submit a timesheet quiz in Canvas for each period and mentors are emailed to verify interns' self-reported timesheets, along with work performance and professionalism.
  
• TLC Seniors work with cooperating Mentor Teachers as prospective teaching interns on alternating Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays during 1st. An additional, 2nd period section is available for students who can take two periods of Internship. As described above, intern timesheets and mentor feedback is closely monitored each period.
