School History

In 2015, the TMSA network expanded again with the opening of Queen City STEM School (QCSS) in Charlotte — a school governed by a separate board but sharing TMSA’s mission and values. QCSS’s growth continued, and in 2019, its secondary campus moved into a new permanent building, marking another milestone in the network’s development.

The year 2022 marked a turning point as QCSS officially joined the TMSA Family, becoming TMSA Charlotte, and a fourth school — TMSA Apex (The Math and Science Academy of Apex) — opened its doors. This period reflects TMSA’s growing presence across the state, emphasizing academic excellence, innovation, and community connection.

In 2025, TMSA Charlotte is expanded further by opening two new schools in Concord, continuing the TMSA legacy of educational excellence and community impact across North Carolina.
