Dear TCS Family,
Thank you for being a faithful part of the TCS community! As we closed out the 2025-2026 fiscal year, we were reminded of all the great things God has done!
We are so grateful for each one of you and your presence, prayers, and generous support.
Thanks to you and the generosity of many, we exceeded our annual fund goal for the 2025-2026 fiscal year with a total of $390,546. These funds allowed us to make significant strides in advancing our mission and blessing our students in multiple ways.
Here are just a few highlights made possible by this generosity:
-
Our students from K4 through 12th grade grew academically and spiritually this year! Awards chapels for each grade level celebrated their many accomplishments.
Our students from K4 through 12-
- Graduation ceremonies for kindergarten, 8th grade, and high school were filled with great joy and tears as families and students marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Our valedictorian will be attending DeSales University, and our salutatorian will be attending NJIT. Our seniors were offered over $850,000 in scholarships to attend colleges across the country.
-
- Our Debate, Robotics, and DECA teams were able to compete at state level tournaments!

- We increased our sports offerings by adding a cross-country team and a boys volleyball team for this year!

The Spring 2026 Flourishing Student Assessment reinforced this growth, showing an increased desire to follow Jesus in high school (45.74% to 61.11%) and middle school (44.55% to 59.70%), while belief in Christ’s redemption reached 87.50% and 92.54%, respectively.

The turnout was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see people of all ages engaging with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in such interactive and meaningful ways.

- Our teachers were able to receive professional development, especially in the use of AI, and additional support and encouragement that resulted in our second year being certified Best Christian Workplace!
Certainly, we could share many other events that speak to the faithfulness of the Lord over this past year but suffice it to say that it has been a great year! Please join me in thanking our God for His provision and goodness, provided through our TCS family!
And thank you for being a part of building the legacy of Timothy Christian School, one student at a time!
In Him,
