Admission Policies

Texas Christian Schools admit students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The organization does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its education policies, admission policies, athletic or other school programs.

While it is the desire of the school to help whenever possible, TCS is not equipped to meet the educational needs of all children. It cannot, in any way, attempt to function as a correctional institution for problems arising beyond those usually encountered among school age children. Students with a history of disruptive or hostile behavior will not be admitted. Neither are we equipped to meet the academic needs of emotionally disturbed or mentally handicapped students. We reserve the right to request parents (or guardians) to withdraw any student who does not adjust to the TCS environment.

Tuition

Tuition is relatively low in comparison to other Christian private schools and is kept at a reasonable rate in order to afford more students the opportunity of a Christian education. The tuition schedule is designed to accommodate families of more than one student. Tuition may be paid in full by August 1^st, or in 10 equal monthly payments due the 1^st of the month.

Tours

Tours are available on campus by appointment only. If you are interesting in seeing more of Texas Christian Schools, please call the office during operating hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
