OUR WORK

TEJI offers an expansive selection of courses that cover a wide range of topics, from emotional intelligence to urban sociology to computer programming using Python. This diversity in subjects is driven by TEJI’s belief that all learners deserve the opportunity to study subjects that inspire them. For this same reason, TEJI also works on special projects and enrichment opportunities, including the Augmented Reality Mural Project and the PKG Criminal Justice Immersion Spring Break program.
