Story
Tillery Christian Academy
We are a growing private Christian K4-12th grade school located on the campus of Memorial Baptist Church in Norwood, NC. We were established in 2017. We are committed to providing a Biblical worldview education to our students and partnering with parents to help our students flourish in and out of the classroom. We would love a chance to meet with you and let you know more about our school!

Purpose
The purpose of Tillery Christian Academy is to provide a rigorous academic environment with a biblical worldview for the children of Stanly County and surrounding areas. We believe that the education of our children should be a joint endeavor between the family and the school aimed at developing each child to his/ her fullest potential mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Approach to Learning
Rather than espouse one specific educational philosophy, the approach to learning at TCA is a blend of approaches designed to provide a rigorous learning environment that supports the cognitive and social growth of the child as well as the development of a biblical worldview. Classrooms offer opportunities to investigate, problem solve, engage in critical thinking, listen attentively and apply strategies both independently and collaboratively. We believe that a blend of approaches allows instruction to be tailored to best fit learning objectives and individual learning styles so that students develop the skills needed for success in venues of higher learning and participation in twenty-first century society.
