TCS provides a strong college preparatory curriculum for our upper school students from a distinctly Christian perspective. Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement courses in Literature, Language, Calculus, U.S. History, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Physics.
In high school, students are required to take English, Science, Math, and History each year, in addition to two years of a foreign language. The school-wide averages on the SAT for TCS students are consistently well above the state and national averages.
Students may take Dual Enrollment classes at TCS with TCS faculty through Truett-McConnell University. In addition, Seniors may take one dual enrollment course per semester off-campus at Georgia Southern University, Ogeechee Technical College, or East Georgia State College in place of a course at TCS. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking and the analyzing of ideas that support or conflict with a Christian understanding of the world. There is also a strong emphasis on writing clear, cohesive papers.
In addition to athletics, Upper School students can participate in other extracurricular activities such as Honor Society, Chess Team, Math Team, and Student Council.

Trinity Christian School bases it’s educational philosophy and mission statement on the foundation of scripture. It is out of this belief system that we strive for excellence in all we do.
The curriculum of Trinity Christian School is designed with a two-fold purpose: to provide an academically excellent education, and to teach every subject from a Christian perspective. At TCS we believe that our Christian faith is relevant to math, history, literature and science just as much as it is to Bible class.
TCS uses textbooks from a variety of publishers, Christian as well as secular, including A Beka, Bob Jones, Christian Schools International, MacMillan/McGraw Hill, Prentice Hall, Saxon, and many more. Instead of letting the textbook publisher determine what our students are taught, TCS is in the process of creating student-based objectives for every subject in every grade. These objectives, gathered from state and national standards as well as our faculty’s expertise, are meant to be the guide for what our students are to know when they complete each subject and grade. The textbooks are tools that will help the teacher to teach the objectives stated in the curriculum guide.
Underlying all these educational objectives is the belief that the Bible, God’s inspired Word, is the source of ultimate Truth. But by God’s grace, he has enabled finite humans to discover truths about mankind and about creation.
I look forward to [my children] being equipped. I don’t know that being a leader is all that common anymore. At Trinity they’re being prepared to be leaders. They may not want to be leaders. They may not be searching and seeking out those opportunities, but my hope is because of what they’ve been exposed to, because of what they’ve learned and because of how they’ve been challenged, that they will have that sincerity, that genuine nature, and they’ll have something they’re standing on.
