Through a variety of pedagogical practices that include student-generated projects, enrichment initiatives, multiple assessments, and university and business partnerships, Times² Academy students develop a repertoire of learning that prepares them to contribute to a larger community beyond the school. In addition to actively pursuing school-wide learning goals that are primarily academically generated, the Times² Academy student is taught the importance of learning within the context of social and civic expectations. Moreover, each student is expected to model these social and civic responsibilities in their daily interactions with peers and faculty.

Times² Academy uses the national content standards, the Rhode Island GLEs/GSEs, Project 2061 Benchmarks as the basis for curriculum development and implementation in its core subject areas. By using literacy and writing across all curricular areas, teachers are better able to build a foundation of learning that supports the school's comprehensive program. To assist the middle and upper school in identifying those competencies and qualities that are crucial for students to realize the school's mission, the administration and Board of Directors approved and implemented a K-5 elementary program in 2002. The elementary program is currently serving as the feeder school to the middle and upper school, adeptly intervening with academic supports and directing interests in math, science, engineering, and technology. Prior to the advent of the elementary school, any remediation for student learning occurred after the sixth grades, where academic deficiencies proved more numerous. By developing an academic bridge for students in the primary grades to cross over into middle school, and subsequently high school, Times² Academy is ensuring the fulfillment of its mission.

The curriculum that is used in grades K-5 and the middle and upper school emphasizes those skills that are standards-based and gives all students the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency over time. Specifically with the advent of Saxon Math in grades 1-6, students are given the opportunity to purposely integrate problem solving with mathematical concepts and skills. Also by using the University of Chicago Math Project, middle and high school teachers are able to develop modules that assist students in grades 7-12 move through a mathematical sequence that culminates with AP Calculus in grade 12. The science curriculum is rigorous following the National Science Foundation Standards and the Rhode Island GSEs. When the Academy initially opened in 1998, using research to direct its decision, the Academy's Science Committee inverted its curriculum to offer conceptual physics to 9th graders, chemistry to sophomores, biology to juniors, and AP Physics to seniors. This inversion of curriculum serves as another way of helping Times² Academy fulfill its mission.
