Twin Tiers Christian Academy is proud of its academic credentials, and strives to provide our students with the best educational experience available while not compromising the Biblical world view.
Our Christian school began operation in 1976 as the Twin Tiers Baptist High School, ministering to students in grades 7 to 12.
We are located in the "Finger Lakes" region of New York, near Elmira and Horseheads, just a few miles off of I-86.
As of July 2004, our school, now known as Twin Tiers Christian Academy, has been under the ministry of the Breesport Baptist Church.
Since our inception, it has been our goal to help parents train up their precious children with a Biblical world view.
We are proud of our graduates who have gone on to serve the Lord in their various vocations: education, mission work, medicine, the pastorate, music, law enforcement, and numerous other areas.

As a parent, I value teaching our kids respect and how to work hard. The atmosphere at TTCA builds on a mutual respect for each other and does not accept second best. This institution believes you should mean what you say and say what you mean. You should follow through and make good on your word. They come along side our children and show them love and lead by Godly examples. Love TTCA.

Our daughter has attended TTCA since she was a sophomore. She's getting a well-rounded, college-bound education along with sports like basketball and soccer and activities like yearbook staff and drama. The staff is caring and truly wants the kids to excel. We couldn't recommend TTCA more.

My family has been at Twin Tiers Christian Academy for three years. The academics are rigorous and taught with excellence. The TTCA community is supportive and my teens have established solid, healthy relationships with peers, as well as with staff. I highly recommend TTCA for families desiring to partner with a school that values education, parent involvement, and healthy moral development of their children. We are a one income family and drive many miles to TTCA from another county. It is a financial investment and commitment that is worth every dollar spent and mile driven in order to ensure a great foundation for my children and their academic, social, emotional and spiritual well-being!

This is our daughter`s third year at Twin Tiers Christian Academy. Formally from public school and a critic of private schooling, TTCA has exceeded our expectations in academics, and extracurriculars. More importantly, we can rest assured knowing our child is not only getting a solid Biblical foundation but is loved and supported by the amazing network of administrators and staff. Despite being a private school, she still has the same opportunities public school kids do, from sports, drama, field trips, and music lessons. We love TTCA!

We have two daughters at TTCA and we cannot say enough good things about the school. From the staff that truly cares, the quality education, and the extensive extracurricular activities, we feel truly blessed to be a part of this school. We love the deep friendships that our girls have created with the other students, as well. It is truly special!

We have been involved with Twin Tiers Christian Academy since 2011. We have two children that have graduated from there already with three left at the school. With all of the ACE college classes that TTCA offers our daughter was able to attend college her first semester with having already completed college credits in English, Science, and Math. Therefore she was able to focus just on Prerequisite Nursing classes. All of our children can be involved in soccer, basketball, volleyball, drama, and robotics. We love the Christian worldview that is taught to our children.

Twin Tiers Christian Academy is where our children received opportunities to grow, lead, and prepare for life. We especially appreciate the powerful biblical instruction through daily Bible classes, weekly chapels, an annual Lamoka Retreat, and integration into classroom instruction. It was through the robotics program that our son decided to become an engineer. Our kids participated and enjoyed art, theatre, and sports.
