Tennessee Christian Preparatory School is an amazing place to attend school. This is a safe environment to learn about all things. The faculty is knowledgeable, hardworking, sympathetic, and personalized to fit your needs. There is always an opportunity to do what you love - for me, it was sports. The staff at Tennessee Christian Preparatory School will do anything they can to see their students succeed.

We love the afmsophere at TCPS! My daughter is able to be taught in a small class size where she is challenged and learning a whole grade level ahead of her peers in the local schools. She enjoys the small school feel and being able to be friends with all of the kids no matter the grades.

TCPS has a constant turn over in teachers from year to year and the teachers do not appear qualified. We sent our child here believe that they would receive an education that would challenge them and it failed to do that. After leaving we were amazed how much he was missing. It is a Christian school however it lacked in providing a biblical education as well. This school appears to be run by a few "certain" families. After leaving it was great to find a school that actually challenges our child academically. We spoke with numerous parents who were unhappy and from what we have learned the graduates of TCPS are not scoring high on ACT testing or performing well at the college level. I think this all goes back to the fact that TCPS is failing to provide a quality education to those students. PLEASE do your research before making the mistake we did and investing in this school. Chattanooga is close and offers wonderful private schools.

This school isn’t for everyone. I would recommend a shadow day of your students grade before making a decision. Some are better than others. Unfortunately my daughters class behavior is not what it should be. She was in public school in the northeast and her classes were always way more well behaved...

The teachers are nice to the students but the curriculum isn't the best (not for what you pay.) The only reason that I gave 3 stars instead of 2 is b/c of the technology teacher, Mr. Cuison, he is excellent. This is the only class that surpasses public school. Also, have extra money saved up b/c the...

Out daughter has been at TCPS for 2 years and I have very little negative experience with the school or the teachers. Everyone makes mistakes but they are always willing to work with parents to make the child's experience the best possible. The students are a testament to how well the preschool is r...
