Laying a Solid Elementary

Academic Foundation

K4 through 6th Grade              

  • TCA uses the ABEKA Book Christian-based curriculum.
  • Teachers use multiple teaching styles to ensure that students grasp the required State of Ohio Academic Content Standards.
  • Starting in the K4 Kindergarten class, TCA instills strong Phonics skills.  When the students graduate from the K5 Kindergarten, they are reading.
  • Cursive writing begins in the First Grade and continues through the Sixth Grade.
  • The majority of Elementary students make the Honor Roll each quarter and receive awards from the Principal.
  • We teach children to put others first.  Each year with our Thanksgiving food drive, we feed 25 families in the community.
  • The average student-teacher ratio is 1 to 10.  Each student receives individual time with the teacher and additional support if needed due to our small class sizes.
