Troy Christian Schools exist to uphold God’s truth as we assist parents in the education of their children’s minds and the transformation of their hearts in a Christ-centered learning environment.
Troy Christian students will be SALT in their world now.
Matthew 5:13
SALT is to Speak, Act, Lead, and Think like Jesus.
We encourage our students to strive to be R2G2 students. They are to have Respect, Responsibility, Gratitude, and Genuineness.
We are one of the few Christian schools in the country that require and provide mission opportunities for all children in early childhood through 12th grade. Each class selects a group of people to serve throughout the school year.
High School students attend non-traditional courses or trips during ESM Week. These courses and trips allow students and teachers to experience opportunities that are not possible in the traditional classroom setting and that fit their interests.

Chapel is a special time for the entire school to come together or to have time for each age group to praise, worship, pray, and study scripture to come to know God better. Each chapel is unique. Guest speakers share about God’s work in their lives. Chapels honor special people in our lives, such as Veterans and also Grandparents.
Students find opportunities to be involved in student council, athletics, choral and band groups, speech, chapel presentations, missions, service projects, academic competitions, yearbook, Science/History Fair, National Honor Society, French Club, Drama Club, Art Club, and leadership development. Athletics include baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross-country, football, golf, soccer, softball, track, swimming, volleyball, and wrestling.
People learn best by using their hands and minds and by doing real, relevant, and meaningful work. We plan to enhance learning at the elementary through: total school activities, after-school activities and individual classroom activities. We also participate in the Miami County Association for Gifted Children in order to better serve the needs of gifted children in our school.
We use a team approach when a child needs extra assistance in a subject area or has a special learning need. The team consists of a speech pathologist, intervention teachers, classroom teachers, the principal, and parents. All or part of the team members work together to provide the best plan to meet the learning needs of each child. This may include working in the regular classroom setting or one-on-one with a student. Testing is coordinated with the public school.
Grades earned from all subjects, including Bible, in grades 9-11 and the first semester of grade 12, are used to compute the student’s final rank in class and grade point average (GPA).
A student’s GPA (grades 9-11) is calculated at the end of each year. Only credits earned by attending classes at TCHS (and approved PSEO and dual enrollment classes) are calculated for the GPA. PSEO class grades are based upon the college grading scale.
