Four Pillars

Faith

Faith is how it all began in 1965. That is when a group of citizens became concerned about the quality of their children's education because prayer and the Bible had been removed from public schools. It was their desire that Christian teaching remain a part of their children's education. Today, FAITH remains one of the pillars of our school, as our students live their faith through participation in prayer, devotionals, biblical instruction and chapel.

"All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children." (Isaiah 54:13)

Character

Is good character just as important as good grades? We sure think so! Successful students perform well both in and out of the classroom. Honest, dependable, caring, fair, humble, generous - these are important words we are proud to use when describing our students, teachers and alumni.

"It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (1 Corinthians 13:5)

Academics

We believe a solid foundation for successful higher education and wise life choices includes positive faculty-student relationships and a challenging college-preparatory curriculum.  Our low student:teacher ratio allows for differentiated and individualized instruction and gives teachers the flexibility to address specific needs.

With ACT based standardized testing beginning in the 3rd grade, our students are prepared for the next level. They continually meet our goal of 100% college acceptance and receive millions in scholarship funds each year.

Service

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)

Service is TRA's final pillar and focuses on kind gestures both on and off school campus. Whether it's coordinating a drive for the local food pantry, assisting communities in need due to disastrous weather, small projects on campus, reading to/assisting fellow students in lower grades, helping teachers or volunteering during special events we encourage our students to think about others.
