Tri-City Christian Academy

"Went there for 8th grade and was told I'm going to hell because I'm not a Christian. They favor certain students(ones who are related to the teachers, which are alot of the kids) very run down building, and half of the teachers don't even have a teaching degree"

"Graduated in '93 and send my 3rd grader daughter here. They give a great education here. When my sisters and I went ages ago to my daughter today, they all ranked far above the national average. Some of these negative reviews are, frankly, ridiculous. They teach science here, and yes they do teach creation. It's a CHRISTIAN school. My daughter loves it here, and I loved my time there in the 80's and 90's, but they're a small school and need all the support they can get. Trust me, your kid will be light years ahead of the public schools, and will learn about God and how to treat people with respect."

"'02 Graduating Class. I don't know all the specifics of the reviews mentioned earlier but I started school at Tri-City in '90. In the 90's it was ok to spank kids for punishment. "Spare the rod, spoil the child". My parents went to Catholic school and it sounded worse. The discipline I got from Tri-City I still use today. Every morning is a routine from homeroom, to the pledge allegiance, to matins services. We prayed before we started the day, read and memorized God's Word, participated in the worship service and served in the school choir. Every Christmas we would have a dress performance. I know I am better because of TCCA and the teachers who invested their time and energy into the school. We practiced cleanliness to pick up the classroom and leaving it better than we found it. We presented class demonstrations on how to answer problems. We had gourmet food from Italian Nights, and even traveled to Montreal for a field trip. I was on the Ski team and would ski gunstock and attitash. I participated in sports and playground activities including giant water fights at the end of the year. I am not sure if they still do that but had some great memories. It was a very active school. They provided me with better study habits. I still use the note taking, outlines, and start each class fresh with a new notebook. I am in my final semester for my Master of Science degree in Information Technology and I wouldn't feel the confidence in my field if it wasn't for the discipline I got from Tri-City. Be prepared to learn and come out better than when you came in."

"Graduating Class of 07. Teachers here were family and I wasn't always the good son. Curriculum was challenging but successful in preparing students for college and life as an adult. In college I was completing math of which I had mastered in my sophomore year with Mrs. West. My biggest fear was college English which I was well prepared for under Mr. Correia. Mr. B and Mrs. B have provided fond memories that will last a lifetime. During my attendance teachers even provided personal phone numbers in their syllabus for homework assistance. I can't imagine a more devoted and loving staff than that of my high school years. And trust when I say that my class was a challenge. This school was always developing and working toward a more well rounded education and opportunity. How many people can say that they took ground school as an elective or were on a rifle team? Later classes visited other countries after studying the language and culture. Schools evolve and change and Tri-City always pushed for greater. Review by Justin Eaves below was already very outdated when I attended beginning in 5th grade.Teacher mentioned "parted ways" during my tenure and never once in my 8 years did I know a student to be paddled (and I deserved it). Im astonished someone would post such a review nearly 25 years after attendance. I can only imagine the review left for the doctor who assisted in his delivery. Just as I'm sure the climate has evolved now it certainly had from his description. I wish him healing and happiness."

"I went to Tri-City Christian Academy and graduated. I then went on to enrolling and graduating at one of the seven U.S. Merchant Maritime Academies. I am very successful and I thank the teachers at Tri-City Christian Academy for the strong foundation of knowledge, morals and work ethic that has helped me become successful."
