TJ is a wonderful school. The teachers love the kiddos and create a great learning atmosphere. Our kids wanted to go all the time and were bummed about summer this year. Parents are constantly kept in the loop and communication is great.

We LOVE Tomahawk! Mr. Ackerman is THE BEST principal. He really cares for his students and it shows!!!

We have had our children at TCS from K to graduated. Our experience from k-6th grade was wonderful, caring teachers, small class sizes, and strong educational goals in a christ centered environment. This all changes from 7th-12th grade. Having a kid in college now I can unequivocally say that this school in no way prepares students for college, especially colleges not named Cedarville or Liberty. The math department is a joke (Current 2023 Algebra 1 is being taught by a sub that does not know the subject and uses YouTube videos), they are almost never required to write papers (until 12th grade English), the computer department does not equip for 21st century learning (no Chromebooks until 11th grade). The list goes on. The secondary administration has no desire to address these concerns that have been present for the past decade. As for spiritual, their version of christianity is not Jesus focused, but rather a dangerous brand of moralism that further alienates students. This legalism is further cemented by a religious nepotism with Timberlake Baptist Church that hires teachers based on their connections their rather than merit.
