Apply

A: The Admission Committee considers the following:

1. Families who are growing in their personal walk with the Lord and involved in their local church. At least one parent must be a Christian, and students in grades 9-12 must also be Christians.
2. Students whose academic records demonstrate proven capability to succeed in our program. TCA requires that students score at grade-level or above on the admission test.
3. Students whose recommendations show a behavioral history that is in harmony with the behavioral expectations of Trinity Christian Academy.
4. It is our desire to keep families together, and we do give priority consideration to both current TCA families, as well as alumni.  All applicants, including siblings and legacy children, must meet the above qualifications to be considered for admission.
5. Our wait pool is made up of qualified applicants for whom there were no available spots. Our wait pool is not a “list” with a position ranking (1, 2, 3, etc.,) but rather a “pool” of applicants. Should an opening become available, the Admission Committee will convene, review all applicants and select the most appropriate candidate for the opening. Applicants in the wait pool will need to go through the application process again for the following school year.
