"We love TCA. TCA not only focuses on improving my children's areas of needs but also really puts a huge emphasis on bolstering their individual strengths. My kids are growing in a way that they never would have at another school due to this excellent individualized and warm environment. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing. They provide rigorous academic challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges. I am so pleased."

"TCA will always be a special place for Austin and I. Austin started in kindergarten, and I joined in third grade. We grew up in the school, participating in classes and extracurricular events that formed who we are today. Now we're married and have the sweetest little girl. We have TCA, and Adventist education, to thank for bringing us together and helping mold us into the individuals we are today."

I went to TCA from 6th grade to Freshman year and I think that TCA is an amazing school. There, I made awesome friends that I hope to stay in contact with for years to come. The teachers I had were kind, caring, and made sure that I got a good education during my time there. While I was there my family and I were struggling financially and we thought that I'd have to leave TCA because of it, but when we informed the principal, he did everything in his power to make sure that I'd be able to stay by finding scholarships, financial assistance from churches, and even donors to help pay for my tuition at TCA. I understand that everyone has different experiences, this was my experience at TCA during the four years I was there

Our daughter began at TCA last year (2017-2018) as a Junior in High School. She loves the school and so do we!The principal went two extra miles for us, as did each of the teachers. We can't say enough good about them!Our daughter had Bible class, English 3, History, College nutrition, College psych 101, music / choir, gymnastics, etc. And yes, the college courses come with transferable credit from your choice of 2 universities.Teachers are very caring, and solid Christians.The price was very reasonable for private school. Kids all do very well on SAT/ACT scores. The students are all caring Christians as well.Our daughter came from a private school near Dayton, Ohio, which does well academically, but the culture is not at all Christian and TCA wins hands down over the other in every category.
