Story
Tillery Christian Academy
We are a growing private Christian Pre-K (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!

Vision

Purpose
Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (NKJV) is the philosophical foundation for Tillery Christian Academy. The school exists to prepare students for citizenship in both God’s kingdom and in secular society by fostering their spiritual, academic, physical, social, and emotional growth. To that end, our purpose is to engage stakeholders (students, families, staff, board of directors, and the greater community) in a joint effort to provide a rigorous academic environment with a biblical worldview for the children and youth of Stanly County and surrounding counties so that each child may develop 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.
