Texas Christian Academy is a private college preparatory school in Waco, Texas.
The school was created in 2000 from the merger of Waco Christian School and Waco Covenant Academy. The school mascot is the Star.
In 2012, the school merged with Parkview Christian Academy in Waco, moving from 4600 Sanger Ave. to the Parkview campus at 1100 Lake Shore Drive, but retaining the TCA name. The school's total enrollment was about 230 at the time. [1] In 2013, the two schools went back to their original names and addresses, with TCA returning to the original Sanger Ave. address.
The student-teacher ratio is 12:1 with the class size range from 6-22. Honors and AP classes are available as well as dual credit classes offered through McLennan Community College. Texas Christian Academy has been accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and is currently accredited by TABS/ACTABS.
The school motto is, "To develop and equip servant leaders for God's glory."
