Testimonials
Our children were just entering school age when we relocated to the Traverse City area. Based on positive recommendations, we enrolled at a local private school and quickly realized how much we took for granted. After just a couple of months, we began searching for an explicitly Christian education for our children. 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.

(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 also impress God’s Truths into them in an environment of academic excellence.

We continue to be floored at the change in our kiddos. I took our daughter to two colleges this past month. Had we stayed in public school, I have no doubt she would have remained a ‘C’ student with no hopes of attending a decent four-year school (if at all!). Fast-forward a year—she interviewed at Hillsdale last weekend and nailed the interview! And she already has a “Yes” from another school she liked! Praise God, and thank you, TCCS!!

It’s such a joy to expose my students to some of the experiences I received as a student at TC Christian. I’m very thankful to my parents for their commitment to Christian education and for ensuring that my siblings and I could attend a school that supports biblical values…(and) continues to touch my future.

Our son has never been as happy or content. Thank you for providing us with an amazing staff to teach our children. And thank you for the financial help to make it possible for our children to attend Traverse City Christian School.

The teachers are all engaging, helpful, and Godly…(they) challenged me to build the necessary skills tos ucceed in college. The sheer amount of encouraging, smart, and good-natured people makes every day a good one. I have confidence TC Christian has benefited my future career, family, and spiritual development.

The Staff/Teachers at TC Christian have impressed us greatly from the start. Their love, drive, passionand 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.
— Joy E. (TCCS Parent)
I wouldn’t have my faith (without) TC Christian. I became a Christian shortly after arriving in 9th grade.Now I am prepared to respond to the various struggles in life with Christ by my side. TCCS has shown me what a community should be like. This school has been one of the best parts of my life.
