Middle School Academics
Preparing for High School and beyond
At TCA we strive to create a “meaningful middle” that helps enable our students to find success in every facet of their school experience–academics, co-curricular activities, and their relationships with peers and adults. In our challenging yet attainable curriculum, students will find opportunities for service and leadership that foster their growth in personal responsibility, encourage cultivation of their unique God-given gifts and help them learn how to care for others.
The middle school years are vitally important for educational and spiritual growth. Our goal for students leaving the eighth grade is that they would be fully prepared for the rigor of high school and beyond. We partner with parents like you to help shape the emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth of middle school students to be young Champions for Christ.
