Small Class Sizes
We are committed to maintaining low class sizes. We will cap our kindergarten classes at 14 students and our 1st-7th classes at 14-16 students depending on the size of the particular classrooms. Until we can open up another class in that grade level, future applicants beyond the maximum will be waitlisted. We simply refuse to compromise the great learning environment and quality relationships made available through small class sizes.
Curriculum
We are proud to teach from a Christian worldview, utilizing Abeka, which is an outstanding, trusted Christian curriculum involving scripture, biblical principles, and critical thinking. Rather than "pacing" being our guide, our teachers use their judgment to work toward mastery of the subject matter, which means they are able to slow down to ensure students do not get lost along the way.
Chapel
Students and teachers also love starting every day with an inspiring, corporate Chapel service where God is worshiped through prayer, scripture memorization, and a staff-led message. In lieu of Chapel on Monday mornings, we each meet with our classes in what we call "Firstfruits," where the Chapel topics are introduced and discussed in a smaller setting.
Specials
All students cycle through Art and Gym, and we are pleased to now offer Performing Arts for our students as well.
Our third through eighth grade students
participate in Performing Arts classes throughout the week to learn music, stage presence, and other various topics from the performing arts.
Kindergarten through second grade students are introduced to Performing Arts through a combined “Cubs Chapel” class on Monday mornings.

Teacher Credentials
Lead Teacher Standards: Must either possess an Undergraduate Degree in Education and/or discipline and be Licensed/Certified or actively seeking Teacher Licensure/Certification.
Sports
Temple Church has a great sports ministry affiliated with Upward Sports, which is a Christian sports ministry program. Many of our students play baseball, basketball, cheerleading, and volleyball. We will wait for other sports programs and after-school clubs and activities to grow organically based on student, teacher, and parent interest.
Lunch
We are honored to have forged an amazing relationship with 37th Street Pizzeria as our partner for catered lunch options. Families can order great food through their online portal that is brought right into the lunchroom for them each day. Otherwise, children can bring their own lunch. Microwaves are provided for simple heat-ups.
Dress Code
Our students wear collared shirts to school Monday through Thursday with khakis or slacks with a zipper, plus skirts and jumpers for girls. Students and Staff enjoy Jeans Days on Fridays with any TCA shirt, a t-shirt with a Christian phrase, or a church shirt (from their local church, VBS, Awana, mission trips).
