How
Parents Feel About TCS . . .
"Is it worth
it?" This was a question that went through my mind
more than once during the eleven years our children
were at Texas Christian School. Now that they have
graduated and gone on to college, I can say without
hesitation that it was worth it. Though our sons
have all done extremely well academically in
college, it is their spiritual growth and leadership
that brings great joy for us. I'm thankful that we
partnered with TCS in the training of our sons
because they are young men who will impact their
world for Christ.
We have been at TCS for
Eleven
years and are extremely happy about the success we have
seen in our four children. Not only have they
academically grown, but more importantly, they have
grown in character. We believe the big difference comes
from the fact that our children view God's involvement
in their life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and not
just a few hours on Sundays. Therefore, as we watch our
children grow and make Godly decisions, we see the
difference Texas Christian has made in their lives. We
can even see the difference between them and the other
children in their Sunday school classes.
Twelve years ago we took a leap
of faith, enrolling our kids at Texas Christian and trusting in
God to provide the finances needed. We believed then
that a Christ-centered education was the best foundation
for them. As the years pass, God shows us in many ways
how Texas Christian has influenced our children, guiding
and leading them to fulfill God's purposes for their
lives. They are self-confident, strong in their faith,
excelling academically (compared to public school
students as SAT results show), and growing closer to God
as their teachers gently guide them and help mold their
character. God has never ceased to be faithful in
providing the finances we need to keep them at Texas
Christian. Soon our oldest child will graduate from
Texas Christian. I am fully confident that he will be
ready to face the world, standing on the firm foundation
of Christ built at Texas Christian.
“After
moving here from another state and not knowing
anyone here, we attended Cypress-Fairbanks school
district for almost two years. But our child needed
individualized education focused on his needs not
the needs of the group. At Texas Christian we found
his needs were met and we also gained a new family.
Whether you want a Christian education, better
opportunities, or many other offerings for your
student, I hope everyone in Houston takes the time
to tour our campus and join us in changing lives.
The school offers many opportunities for parental
involvement and encourages family participation.
Our experiences at Texas Christian have been very
positive and I welcome other families to become part
of the TC family.”
