About TCA

Founded in 1974, TCA is fully accredited by AISA and COGNIA. We believe that God is the source of wisdom and He should be the center of our students' lives. Therefore, we have an exciting chapel service every week as well as Bible classes every day.

We utilize the "A Beka" curriculum for all grades and supplement the high school with additional Bible curriculum and elective courses. We use a form of standardized testing each year with an aim to provide a well-rounded, balanced education in both the spiritual and academic areas of the students' lives.

Our class sizes offer great opportunities for your child to get one-on-one learning time with the teacher. It is our goal to give each child the opportunity to excel academically and grow spiritually.

Mission statement

The mission of TCA is to pass on our faith to the next generation of students so that they may live a separated life unto the Lord and hold to the Biblical faith and Christian living. Also, to pass on to our students the knowledge and wisdom that they will need to function successfully in the modern world.

Philosophy statement

TCA was created to assist families in preparing their children so that they will be sufficiently equipped to assume the mantle of leadership that they will soon inherit. Since the main responsibility of a parent is to ensure that his child is trained in such a way as to live a Godly and productive life, TCA desires to be a tool that parents can use to achieve this end.

Since the primary reason for the existence of the school is a spiritual ministry, evangelistic efforts are made to bring all students to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ so that the teaching of spiritual truths may have a firm foundation. This is followed by instruction in right thinking, good conduct, and clean living in the light of the principles of God's Word.
