We are dedicated to providing your child with a Christian education that nurtures their individual gifts and encourages whole-child growth

We believe it takes passion and commitment to be a Christian teacher in today’s world. At TCA, every member of our staff is dedicated to each student’s whole-child growth and academic success.

Our teachers pray daily with their students and teach each class through a biblical worldview.

Because of the focus on faith, students are constantly encouraged to recognize and develop their God-given gifts. That—combined with our rigorous curriculum—is what creates a solid foundation for each child.
