The mission of The Christian Academy is to partner with Christian parents to equip students through a classical education with the necessary skills to pursue excellence through Christ in every area of life.

Founded in 1951, The Christian Academy (TCA), one of the finest Christ-centered classical schools in southeastern Pennsylvania, is committed to partnering with parents. TCA is a Christian school where we learn about God and the world He has made, believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and serve others with His compassion and grace. We unashamedly stand firm on God’s revelation of Himself and His world through the Word of God. TCA seeks to teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Bible at the center.

At TCA, we have a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, where 35% of our faculty hold advanced degrees.

TCA equips students to do whatever God calls them to do. Whether our students choose college, trade school, or the workforce, they can represent Christ in every area of society. While our school is predominantly college-preparatory, our students’ time at TCA helps them discern their gifts and abilities so they can pursue excellence while following God’s leading in their lives.

Our TCA student body is made up of 325 students from 3 countries, 3 different states, and 120 different churches

"It's in their moments of discovery, when they react with wide-eyes and a loud 'Wow!' that I'm grateful to teach in such a hands-on way." -Lori Miller, 3rd Grade Teacher

"Although we often succeed in teaching our students 'subjects,' we often fail in teaching them how to think. They learn 'everything' except the art of learning." -Dorothy L. Sayers, Author of "The Lost Tools of Learning"

"My passion is to provide a thoughtful, well-mediated forum where students can walk away with subject content and conversations centered on their personal growth." - Brendan Michael, High School English

"At TCA I found an intentional integration of love, wisdom, and care. It's contagious. It gives a sense of family across all of our grade levels." -Ryan Davis, Educational Technologist

Jesus said that “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him” (John 4:23). True worship happens at TCA. Whether in weekly chapels, middle school and high school retreats, or in Bible classes, students are challenged and supported in their walk with God. Chapel - from its praise and worship music, messages from God’s Word, panel discussions, or small-group sessions - provides a weekly reminder of God’s love and work in their lives. Annual retreats give students the opportunity to set school aside and focus on their own spiritual growth and community building. Each of these times allows TCA students “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”

Creating Together

"Students will say, 'I never thought I could do anything like that.' That is what creative empowerment looks like. That is the crossroads where worship, faith, and art meet." - Christine Uzele, MS & HS Art Teacher

"I have the opportunity to share Christ with my students in every aspect of our day." -TCA 4th Grade Teacher
