About TCA

The Torch Christian Academy is a private Christian school…

TCA was founded in 2014. As the school has grown over the years, we have seen many students grow with it. We offer preschool classes beginning at age 2. Our elementary school continues education for kindergarten through 5th grade.

TCA is an accredited school through Georgia Accrediting Commission and a member of Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Our classroom teachers are certified. Most classes have a 10:1 ratio while some have 10:2.

We offer strategic and innovative technology. Technology at TCA is used intentionally. It is intended to enhance learning and open educational opportunities, but never as a substitute for teaching.

Our curriculum is primarily Abeka. We teach using a Biblical worldview with Biblical integration throughout all lessons. We follow national standards through a rigorous scope and sequence. A variety of assessments are used to measure progress and achievement in the classroom. Students are given a variety of platforms to demonstrate their understanding of the skills and information taught. We use ITBS for the 3rd and 4th grades in the spring of each year as our formal assessment. We are proud to have all students test on grade level, with the majority of our students performing above grade level.

We know not every student learns the same way. For this reason, we do provide student support if needed.

There is so much learning that goes into every day. For this reason, it is very important to offer every grade their own class. No grades are in a combined classroom.

TCA strives to provide a safe and securely locked facility. We have equipment and procedures in place for all levels of security needs. Drills are practiced regularly.

We follow the CDC guidelines for COVID.

Our main goal is to provide an environment for children so they feel safe and loved. We know our students feel supported by their teachers. We encourage student support for each other as well.

We believe in partnering with parents to make the students’ education the very best. We encourage parent involvement. We have a Parent Planning Committee that helps with activities for our students during and after school hours.
