- 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!
