General Information
 
Texas Christian Schools are independent, nondenominational Christian schools, which seek to serve the entire Christian community in this area.  The student body represents more than ten denominations, many independent churches, and over ninety individual churches.

TCS is fully accredited by ACTABS, recognized by Texas Education Association (TEA) through Texas Private School Accreditation Committee (TEPSAC).

TCS is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, the Association of Christian Schools of Texas, and Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS).

·    Texas Christian Schools educate students from 3-year-old kindergarten through 12th grade.

·    We basically use the A Beka curriculum with supplemental materials in all grades; ACSI Spelling; Saxon Math; in the upper grades Bob Jones Science is used, and Bob Jones Literature in 9th - 12th.

·    K-3 classes are limited to 10-12 per class.  Hours are 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM.  K-4 classes are limited to 14-16 per class, K-5 classes are limited to 16-18 per class.  Hours are 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

·    1st - 12th grades will not exceed approximately 22 per class, with a Teacher’s Assistant used as necessary for a smooth operating class.

·    The students have Bible class every day with their teacher and Chapel once a week with the Administrator teaching character development to the students.  We also have special Chapels periodically with special speakers and Christian singing groups.

·    We offer a PE program, music, art and computers with possible other programs being put into effect each year.  We have various electives to choose from in our upper grades each semester such as Art, Athletics, Cooking, Office Assistant, Drama, Wood Shop, Debate, Scrapbooks, Yearbook and Journalism.  Other choices will be added each year whenever possible.

·    A catered lunch program is offered Monday through Thursday with the cooperation of local restaurants such as Chick-Fil-A, Pizza, Taco Bell, and Wendy's.  Friday lunch is offered by school organizations such as  Seniors, Juniors, Cheerleaders, etc, as fund raisers.

·    Each class usually participates in 4 scheduled field trips throughout the year as well as 4 class parties.

·    TCS offers an after school care program (Prime Time) to our parents for an additional charge.  The hours are from 11:30 AM - 6:30 PM.

·    We have many extra curricular activities for Jr./Sr. High students such as tackle football, volleyball, basketball, track and field, baseball, softball, cheerleading, drill team, attending local Christian concerts, and much more.

·    There is a fee per sport which is generally $75 for Jr. High students and $85 for Sr. High students, and is payable before the first game and before a uniform is issued.

·    An annual Yearbook of great memories is produced.

·    We have a Parent Service Association (PSA) whose purpose is to:  1. Promote the welfare of the students.  2. Actively involve parents in the service and promotion of TCS.  3. Bring into closer relation the home and school through parental involvement.  4. Assist in the growth and development of Texas Christian Schools.

·    All tuition payments are due on the 1st of each month and made payable to Texas Christian School.  Tuition payments not received by the 5th of the month will be assessed a $25.00 late fee which is to be included in your tuition check.  There is a $25.00 return check fee on all returned checks. 

·    Texas Christian Schools do not refund any fees; all books and materials remain the property of TCS.  TCS is not responsible or liable for any personal property that is lost, damaged, broken or taken on the premises.
