The school attracts students from across Henrico County to participate in its International Baccalaureate Programme, Advance College Academy, and Center for Spanish Language and Global Citizenship (Immersion).

[4] Of the nine comprehensive high schools in Henrico County, Tucker is the only one to host three speciality centers: Advanced College Academy, International Baccalaureate, and Spanish Language and Global Citizenship (commonly known as Immersion).

Students at Tucker have to complete Creativity, Action, and Service projects throughout all four years of high school to explore their community and identity, a personal project in the summer after ninth grade to engage in creating a final product of the student's interests, and an extended essay — a university level paper under 4,000 words with a topic of choice — during 11th grade.

[13] The program consists of continuing Spanish in immersive classes through high school, taking at least one year of a supplemental language, and opportunities such as studying abroad for credit, gaining entrance with guest speakers, field trips, and cultural events.

[14] The students take approximately two-to-three center classes in a seven block schedule, focusing on oral and written Spanish as well as the culture, literature and art of Spanish-speaking countries.
