Tennessee Temple Academy is one of the first Christian schools in the Chattanooga area opening its doors in 1942.

Each child learns to respond to discipline and authority as he/she reacts to the controls or guidelines of the mother and father. There the child also learns how to respond to other individuals, either by playing with the other children in the family, or those who live nearby. So it is in the home where the child learns a value system of right and wrong.
