Turning Point Christian Academy

TCPA is a Bible governed home school cooperative servicing grades K-4 thru 12, that seeks to teach discipline, values, beliefs, and principles that are consistent with the Word of God.
Since these principles are taught first in the home, the vision of Turning Point is largely contingent upon parents educating their children, and our staff members assisting them in this process. At Turning Point Christian Academy, our goal is to partner with parents to ensure that everything that is taught at home is reinforced at school, and everything taught at school is reinforced at home. At the heart of TPCA is our commitment to help you, the parent, become the educator God designed you to be, as you rear your child in a lifestyle of Holiness and Excellence.

School Notes

  • What grades do you serveWe serve K-4 through High School.Do you do any testingYes. We do a diagnostic test at the beginning of the year to determine the student's foundational knowledge base. We also have each child complete a learning styles test to determine which way the student learns best.Our middle and high school students complete the ITBS test.What curriculum do you useWe use the Bible, Alpha Omega, Bob Jones, ACE and ABEKA. We've determined which programs line up best with the TEKS and Word of God. Curriculum differs by grade level.What is the student/teacher ratioThe student to teacher ratio is currently 3:1. TPCA is a small private Christian school and we are looking to keep the student to teacher very low.Do you offer a lunch programNo.What are your feesTuition is $550/mo for the first child with a 10% discount for each child after that. There is also a non-refundable registration fee of $100 for returning students, and $150 for new students. Your registration fee reserves your spot for the upcoming semester and covers the cost of the testing fees (not including the ITBS test). Book fees are $200/semester. A payment arrangement can be made for book fees.Is there any interview processYes. The interview process is conducted by a panel which consists of our pastor, administrators, and selected teachers. Both parents, if available, are requried to be in attendance.Is TPCA affiliated with a churchTPCA is affiliated with Agape Fellowship Christian Center.Is there a dress codeYes there is a dress code. Guidelines will be outlined upon acceptance to the academy.Describe the spiritual life/atmosphere of the school.The Bible teaches us to train up a child in they way they should go. This mandate was given to parents. However, the conventional workday does not give all parents the opportunity or time to spend eight hours a day teaching and training their children. That is why there is a great need for quality, Christ-centered education.
  • At Turning Point Christian Academy, our goal is to support parents in educating their children according to God's Word. This environment promotes healthy communication among students, parents and instructors. A high interest is placed in the relationship between the academy and the parents. It is our belief that the instruction given at the academy be reinforced in the home.Everything we do is driven by the Word of God-from academics to extra curricular activities to lunch time! The students begin each day with praise time, chapel and scripture recitation. We believe if the children are able to "hide the Word in their hearts," they will be protected against the many things that are sure to come against them as they grow older.
