School Notes

A Christ-Centered Education
- Every subject, relationship, and activity is shaped by a biblical worldview-so students grow not just in knowledge, but in wisdom and faith.
- Your child will be known, valued, and supported by teachers and peers who take their faith-and your child's growth-seriously.
- TCA challenges students to think deeply, communicate clearly, and pursue excellence-not for personal glory, but to serve God and others.
- Whether it's on stage, on the field, or in student leadership, your child will find space to grow in confidence and character.
- In a community built on shared faith and mutual respect, students build relationships that go far beyond the classroom.
- TCA equips students to engage the world with clarity, conviction, and compassion-ready to lead and serve wherever God calls them.
- We stand without reservation on the absolutes of the Holy Bible and seek to interpret all of life and learning from the basis of the principles set forth in God`s Word. These convictions provide the framework for our entire educational program. In this framework, students develop their intellectual, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social potential to the end that their lives will glorify God.

I have been a TCA parent for the past 12 years. The academic programs are wonderful, my daughter will be graduating this year with 12 college credits! Both of my children have participated in the athletics and arts programs and done really well. And I can't say enough how wonderful the faculty are,not only are they knowledgeable, but they care deeply for all of the children at TCA. I would recommend TCA without reservation!
