The development of social interaction and self-governance also play a key role in these early educational years.
Most importantly, the word of GOD is woven throughout the context of each subject, with direct instruction in Bible understanding are central components in the education of all students. Students also have the privilege of attending weekly praise gatherings where they experience age appropriate worship, puppet ministry and training in Godly Character.
“I love that my son is coming home telling ME about Jesus!” TCS Parent
Students joining our kindergarten program are individually assessed for placement into one of two learning environments; developmental kindergarten (for students requiring additional acquisition time) or our traditional kindergarten program.
Both programs offer readiness skills instruction for placement into our first grade the following year. The fluidity of our program allows students to develop their skills at an appropriate pace to optimize their experience. For students who need an additional year to cement readiness skills, they can easily transition into our traditional kindergarten program.
TCS offers a 2 day supplemental program on Tuesdays and Thursdays for parents desiring an ALL DAY / 5 DAY educational experience for their kindergarten student. This program explores learning beyond the traditional classroom curriculum with 2 days of enrichment learning and activities. (Minimum of 8 students required)
After school care is available for preschool thru Grade 6 students until 6pm.
Elementary / Middle School Program: Grades 1-8
This program continues building on the foundational philosophy of the Early Education Program recognizing the learner is developing into a more independent thinker with unique God given gifts. As elementary educators, we seek opportunities to strengthen these gifts both academically and spiritually.
Academic needs are met through a strong core curriculum with a well-rounded compliment of specials. Students requiring specialized support receive direct instruction through our special services department.
Middle School Program: Grades 7 and 8
This program builds upon the solid, biblically based academics of our elementary school and focuses on the unique academic, social and spiritual needs of young adolescents. Middle school students begin the transition to this new stage of development by attending classes in several classrooms with different teachers. In addition to core curriculum, which includes Basic Math, Pre-algebra, Civics, American History, Life and Earth Science, and Keyboarding, ‘middle-schoolers’ may also participate in electives such as Art, Praise and Worship Class and Drama. Tri-unity Christian Middle School students also attend gender exclusive Bible and Spiritual LIFE Courses, which enable the teacher and students to address pertinent issues relevant to their academic and social development. In addition, outreach and service projects are a key component of the learning experience, giving students opportunity to serve God in tangible ways.
High School Program: Grades 9 - 12
