This school is an excellent choice to educate your children. We have nothing but good to say about this school that all of our children graduated from and went went on to graduate with honors from college. The administration, teachers, and student body, all work together to ensure the best possible results. All the teachers are degreed, along with being great Christians. We are very pleased academically, spiritually, socially, and in all areas. We also are pleased that Temple does try to keep the tuition low to keep the cost affordable. Thank you Temple Christian Academy,
