I am so blessed that my children can go to Tallavana. The school was a wonderful positive change for them. The teachers really care. The office staff are helpful and the chapel services are amazing. I can't recommend the school enough. Thank You
TCS continues to move in the right direction and provides a solid educational environment for its students. Being accredited as a small Christian school is a testament to the exceptional leadership of the administration and the quality of the teachers. The administration promotes strong Christian ideals, and encourages its students to learn and understand the ideals that are important for there personal Christian development. TCS also provides a complete college preparatory education for grades 9th through 12th grades. This is a great opportunity for high school students to continue in a Christian school that prepares them for entrance into college. I look forward to TSC continuing its move in the right direction.
My son attended TCS three out of four years during high school. Up until that point he attended the public school system of Gadsden Cnty. My motivation for moving him there was the smaller classroom sizes and the absence of the FCAT. Although he has graduated and attending college I can't say I made the best decision for him. My displeasure with TCS ranged from the limited options available for courses, the lack of practicing a true Christian spirit (children were expected to exemply Christian characteristics but not given ample time to embrace them), inadequate communication from the office and lack of activities that truly prepare children for life after Tallavana.
My children love the school and so do I. The teachers are amazing. Everyone really cares.
Wow, what a great school. There have been so many improvements in the last few years. My children are happy and growing both in their academics and their knowledge of God.
Things are getting alot better since we got a new principal ..... thankyou mrs.townsend for making the upcoming school years hopfully the best
I am so happy that my child is attending Tallavana. There is such a positive attitude and everyone wants to help my child succeed. My child is so much happier now. I wish we had done this earlier.
One of the biggest problems I see at Tallavana is the Principal. She claims to not want to control everything but yet has to micromanage every detail. She gives very little support to the teachers. I have children that attend Tallavana and have seen a decline over the past 2 years. I held out hope that the School Board and Pastor would resolve the issues to no avail. I have almost lost hope. Tallavana should be the light in Gadsden County but ..... Only God knows what his plan is for TCS!
It's been a few month since I've chimed in. I am an auntee of a child at Tallavana, again I can say that I've seen a dead seed become a blossoming flower. My nephew had a choice to go to another school, he let me and his mother know that Tallavana is the place for him. He is totally confident in himself, before he was just surviving to suffer another day in school. This is not a put down of the other school it is a lift up for where he is now. Mr. Towsend has encouraged my nephew to be what he chooses to be and not be what someone choose for him. I praise God for the concept that Tallavana has. Again if you have kids that learn easily great, but mine nephew didn't. He received a few certificates for improvement for the 2007 year. Horay for Tallavana!!!!!!
I am going into 10th grade at Tallavana this year and I love it!I have seen such a change in Tallavana this year more than ever before. We have a new principal, Mrs. Townsend, and I think that she has done an outstanding job at changing the school for the better.Me and my friend would go to her office at least once a month and we would tell her what our concerns were and she would help us get what needs to be done done.Take it from someone who has been at Tallavana for at least 9 years , we haven't seen a year like this since Principal Castleberry was here. And anyone who thinks that this school is not absolutely wonderful has lied to you. We now have uniforms. We also recently got new computers and have restarted the Discipleship club. Since Mr. Ross(pastor) came back things are great.
