LOVE our school! My children have been at The Tabernacle Christian School since K4 and are now in middle school. We have nothing but good things to say about the education they are receiving. I have friends in public school and I always compare notes and we are on track, if not ahead of public schools academically. The loving atmosphere cannot be found elsewhere. The teachers all know our childrens heart, which in this day and age is a breath of fresh air. Have there been "Hiccups" in the road? Of course there has, but where can you attend school and say that everything is perfect?
GREAT SCHOOL!!! Our children went to the school through middle school and were WELL PREPARED for high school!! The teachers and administration are awesome and so caring. I highly recommend this school!! The BEST!
Funny, I've posted before on how terrible this school is and it was removed! Not a good academic school. i've heard parents that needed to get tutors to get their children up to speed in high school. Very sad for a private school.
I love The Tabernacle. Our children have had a wonderful experience. The teachers are loving and outstanding. The special theme days are so much fun. We have not experienced another school like this one.
Our daughter is in her last year at TCS. She has been there her entire elementary & middle. TCS is a wonderful school - principal is wonderful and genuine. Clearly the entire staff is here for the students and not just going to a job. Cant say enough about this great school.
Overall, I would recommend The Tabernacle Christian School over any other Christian School in the area. The Administation, Office Staff and Faculty majority are wonderful examples of Christian Leadership! The Tabernacle does face the same curriculum dilemma as most other Christians Schools: The curriculum is too rigid. Students average 6-8 test/quizzes per week which infringes upon opportunities for higher level and creative learning due to all of the fact memorization for quizzes/tests. It would be great to offer a Spanish course for elementary students, as well. There could also be improvement within class instruction to cater to all learning styles. More hands on activities would spark creativity and interest. I believe under the leadership of this administration a revised curriculum will eventually be established. One that includes less busy work and more meaningful learning application. All other areas of school leadership, service and parent involvement - I would definitely rank a 5!
TCS has served two generations in our family. Our children attended TCS and now our Granchildren have begun. The parent participation is amazing, the teachers are gifted individuals, the support staff and administration are both caring and professional.
I have been at TCS for 9 years, and i will never foget this school leaving it is hard i will miss the teachers so much. i have gained alot of wisdom from this school. the teachers there are truley blessed and have helped me for many years. This school is one of the best, i think everyone should atleast try it
I was a student at TCS for four years. I have to say that it was the best four years of my life. I struggled a lot in the beginning, but the teachers soon helped me. I was getting D's in fifth grade. This year I graduated the eighth grade with a 3.5 GPA. The teachers are excellent. All of the kids are kind, and come from good backgrounds. I was a part of the student council in middle school for two years. I was a class rep. I would have liked a Spanish class, but other than that I have no complaints. All of the teachers have a strong love for Christ. The principal (Mr. Medred) is incredible. He handles every problem perfectly. The graduation ceremony for the eighth grade was the best day of my life. They care so much about their students.
We couldn't be more pleased with The Tabernacle Christian School. It has been a blessing to our family, especially our daughter who is graduating this year. I don't think we could have found a school with more caring teachers, principals, and staff. I couldn't possible say enough wonderful things about this school and how much they have impacted our lives. I know they will only continue to grow as more people become aware of this excellent school and I might add they have the best rates around. I would like to see at least one foreign language offered.
