An Amazing Team
O
ur teachers play a vital role in educating and shaping our children, the future leaders of our community. They are kind, patient, hard-working, dedicated, and understanding professionals who love Jesus and disciple our children, guiding them in positive directions. Simply put, they are terrific! The love between teachers, staff, and pupils was such that in April, the faculty and staff produced a video for the students expressing their feelings about the separation. You can watch that here.
The staff and teachers at TC Christian have impressed us greatly from the start. Their love, drive, passion and desire to see our kids succeed is obvious and invaluable to our family! Double kudos for loving and guiding teenage girls, and helping them discover God’s plan for their lives! These teachers are demanding yet caring, tough yet fair, expect effort and hard work yet are full of grace and discernment. You are amazing!!” This year we welcomed - and farewelled - several members of the TCCS team.
