TLC Prep School Motto:
Preparing Young Minds for Eternity
Our School Mission:
The Tree of Life Christian Preparatory School seeks to prepare young minds for citizenship here on earth and for eternity. We place value on both a child's academic accomplishments and their spiritual growth.
The school believes that academic excellence and Christ-like behavior results from outstanding teachers with Christian standards, small classrooms, and an imaginative, individualized curriculum.
We feel strongly that the home, the church, and the school form a partnership to accomplish these goals. Children who embrace opportunities with enthusiasm, a teacher who nurtures their growth, and parents and church members who support the many facets of school life join to form the family that is the Tree of Life Christian Preparatory School.

“As a means of intellectual training, the Bible is more effective than any other book, or all other books combined. The greatness of its themes, the dignified simplicity of its utterances, the beauty of its imagery, quicken and uplift the thoughts as nothing else can. No other study can impart such mental power as does the effort to grasp the stupendous truths of revelation. The mind thus brought into contact with the thoughts of the Infinite can not
but expand and strengthen.” Education, p. 24
