Everybody knows everybody. The teachers always get to know us. Our homework is tough, but we know it's good for us, because most of us want to attend a top-level college. Hence, college-prep school. The parents are so involved (though you don't have to). TCA has the best visual art department in the

I attended TCA from my 7th grade year till graduation. I strongly recommend getting your kiddo into TCA earlier in thier school rather than later. It was a hard transition and consequently I missed out on a great deal of mathmatical education. Dollar for dollar TCA matches up to Jesuit-level education.

Okay, so I have been going to TCA since kindergarten, and overall it is an excellent school. The high school administration is so much fun and, because of the small amount of high school students, they know everybody and joke around with us all the time. The History and English classes are combined to

The homework load is awful in my opinion, it seems you have no time to rest, if you play a sport. The sports are competitive, and the school spirit is amazing. All the teachers do care about you witch is great. It is hard to enter TCA in high school unless you know someone because it is so cliquey, which I despise...but all the people I know that have graduated from TCA have remained closes with their TCA friends.

This school is great! I have a 1st and 3rd grader and I work at the school as an aid. All the Lower School classes have aids. The people who work there truly love children. The classroom sizes are big. The school is debt free. Academics are challenging but not frustrating. When you are in 4th grade

What I love is talking to our high school kids. They are so well spoken. Whether we talk about politics or the weather, they are interesting, kind people. Athletics are competitive but you are appreciated for being good at other things as well. Our art program is amazing. Mention of some our teachers work in the Dallas Morning News. Great school!

I sent 3 kids to this school, 2 to First Baptist, and 1 to Shelton; all for different reasons and for different 'fits'. For kids that learn in a main stream way, this is an expensive school that is worth well over twice what we paid. I believe that it is by far the best co-ed college prep education

Their Math curriculum is amazing. My daughter went straight into Calc 3 from high school with no problem. Football, Baseball, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Track are well regarded and competitive at the top levels in the city. With only 100 Srs, they routinely compete with and often beat some of the top 5A public schools in the state. Read less
