Partnering with Families

It’s our desire to work closely with parents to provide an education firmly rooted in biblical truth. Through a shared commitment to faith, we help students build a strong spiritual foundation. Here, your child will have opportunities to serve, receive guidance from Christ-centered teachers, and experience worship where they’ll grow in their understanding of God’s plan for their lives.

CORE VALUES

Participating in Community

To us, community is more than a word — it’s a way of life. From mission trips that deepen faith to mentorship programs where older students guide younger ones, every interaction strengthens the bond within our PreK-12 campus. In our thriving community, parents play an active role, whether volunteering in the classroom, attending our conferences, or organizing special events that bring us closer together.

FINANCE AND ENROLLMENT

“I cherish the family-like atmosphere that makes TC Christian so special and I value the commitment to a well-rounded education that nurtures not just academics but also spiritual and social-emotional growth. To parents considering TCCS, I’d say it’s a place where teachers build strong bonds with students, meeting them where they are academically, socially, and spiritually. Your child will find a nurturing environment here to thrive and grow.”

Meet our Teachers

TCCS is the little school with big soul! We moved across the country just to experience what TCCS has to offer and were not disappointed! The emotional return on the monthly fiscal investment is something we simply can’t quantify. It’s the best investment we have ever made in our kids or our marriage. We only wish we could have done this sooner

– The Rynbrandt Family

The staff and teachers at TC Christian have impressed us greatly from the start.  Their love, drive, passion and desire to see our kids succeed is obvious and invaluable to our family! Double kudos for loving and guiding teenage girls, and helping them discover God’s plan for their lives! These teachers are demanding yet caring, tough yet fair, expect effort and hard work yet are full of grace and discernment.

– The Elenbaas Family

Once school started at TC Christian our children loved it and Ephesians 6:4 became an obvious standard we wanted to pursue so that our values and commitment to Christ, in every aspect of our lives and worldview, would also be instilled in their classroom. We are wonderfully thankful for TCCS.

– The Dryer Family

We could not imagine having our children at any school other than TC Christian.  We are so thankful for the teachers and staff who not only love our children well, but who impress God’s truths into them in an environment of academic excellence.”
