History and organization:

Our elementary grades were established in 1979 as Living God Christian School. In 1995 a separate entity, Traverse City Christian School, was organized by a group of Christian parents who desired a Junior High and High School which provided academic excellence infused with a Christian worldview. In the spring of 2008, the two schools voted to form the first unified Pre-school through 12^th grade interdenominational school in the Grand Traverse region, Traverse City Christian Schools.
 

This new school system consists of three major educational components: the Preschool and Elementary School consisting of Preschool through Grade 5, the Middle School consisting of Grades 6-8, and the High School consisting of Grades 9-12.

 

The Preschool and Elementary School are located on fourteen acres and house a computer lab, art room, gymnasium/auditorium and library. The property includes a spacious playground, soccer field and softball field.

 

Our 26-acre main campus is centrally located just south of Traverse City and serves the immediate tri-county area. The main campus hosts a state-of-the-art building which features a central library, computer labs, cafeteria, regulation-sized gym and stage, a regulation baseball diamond, tennis courts, soccer field and a welcoming atmosphere.

 

Students come to TCCS from nine area school districts and represent about twenty-five different area churches.

 

TCCS is located just a few miles from Traverse City. Our main campus, which offers our Middle/High School program (6^th-12^th Grade) is located at 753 Emerson Road, and our elementary campus (Preschool through 5^th Grade) is located just a quarter of a mile to the west at 1514 Birmley Road. Arrangements have been secured at specific drop-off and pick-up sites throughout the public school district for families wanting to take advantage of public school busing.
