Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
TCA is a ministry of Faith Assembly of God-Texarkana, AR and is located on their campus at 2001 Arkansas Blvd.
​
What grades levels do you serve at TCA?
For the upcoming school year, we will serve students in Kindergarten (age 5) through 9th grade. We hope to add a grade level each new school year until we are a K through 12th grade school. Although we will add grade levels each school year, we will not enroll new students after completion of the 8th grade.
What are your hours of operation?
Our regular school hours will be from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday.
What are your tuition rates?
Please see our tuition schedule for this information.
Do your students wear uniforms?
Yes, our students wear uniforms. Order forms for approved shirts are distributed to families as they enroll their children. Girls will wear knee length skirts of an approved color, and boys will wear pants of an approved color.
What academic standards do you teach?
At TCA, we use the Arkansas State Standards as a resource when planning at each grade level. Since we are not funded by the state, we can teach those standards in harmony with God’s Word and with the use of curriculum written by Christian publishers. This allows us to offer a rigorous education to our students while teaching content from a Biblical Worldview.
What resources do you use?
We primarily use Abeka curriculum at the Kindergarten level. Beginning in 1st grade, we use a variety of curriculum which may include, Abeka, Bob Jones University, and teacher created resources.
Are your teachers certified?
It is our desire to employ certified teachers at each level beginning in Kindergarten. If we are unable to secure a certified teacher, we may employ a teacher who has a bachelor’s degree. This is a common practice for schools even in public education. As equally important to us, is our teachers being born-again followers of Christ who love children and are called to the ministry of Christian Education.
What enrichment or extracurricular activities will you offer?
We offer music, PE, Art, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) enrichment classes and field trips to our students. Middle school students will have opportunities to lead in chapel and/or serve on the chapel worship team. Your child will also have opportunities to serve one another and their local community through service projects and outreach ministries. As the school grows, we hope to add additional activities, such as clubs, mission trips, and sports as our students show interest.
