PARTNERING WITH PARENTS
At TCCS, we partner with families like yours who see the importance of integrating a Biblical worldview with the training up of their children. We believe that if God designed each one of us for his purpose and glory, then there is no better environment to learn in than one that views all things through the lens of scripture.
OUR HISTORY Tri-City Christian School, a non-profit educational institution, was established in September 1971 as a ministry of Tri-City Church. The entire K-12 program is fully acredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ASCI).
OUR MISSION To transform the lives of students through Christ as the foundation of all knowledge and learning to affect change in their community.
OUR GOALS Tri-City Christian School seeks to provide a Christ-centered learning environment with a decidedly Biblical worldview and emphasis on academic excellence. As a school, we desire to partner with families to equip each student to serve as a Godly influence on our world.
MISSION & CORE VALUES MISSION To transform the lives of students through Christ as the foundation of all knowledge and learning to affect change in their community.
CORE VALUES CHRIST We value knowing Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. John 8:32 states, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” As a school community, our purpose is to inspire our students to grow in grace, knowledge, and purpose in their walk with Jesus Christ.
CHARACTER We value Godly character as described in Galatians 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol.” We want to be living testimonies so that those who interact with TCCS will see authentic Christians living out their faith.

God has faithfully led TCCS for over 50 years Rigorous hiring process for Teachers Teaching is unwavering in Biblical truth and inspired by a Biblical worldview Teachers are “Faith Models” who mentor students and encourage spiritual growth Biblical integration into all subjects
Christian education endeavors to develop children according to their specific abilities so that a child will be empowered to live a life characterized by love, trust, and obedience to Christ. The ultimate goal of an education at TCCS is to develop a mature disciple of Jesus Christ whose life glorifies God. Life has no meaning apart from truth. God’s word is eternal and, therefore, is man’s only source of truth. This means that everything that man studies must be scrutinized through the lens of scripture. “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17
