WHO WE ARE
T.H.R.I.V.E. stands for Truth, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Victory and Excellence! These are the six pillars of TCA. We believe if we equip our youth with these characteristics and principles, they will be successful in their everyday pursuits throughout their lifetime.
OUR HISTORY
T.H.R.I.V.E. Christian Academy opened its doors for the Fall 2013 school year with two 1st grade students. We began our journey in a four-bedroom outreach center - Blessed 2 Bless, in downtown Lithonia.
Since our inception we have grown from two students to over two hundred dispersed between Pre-Kindergarten
and 12th grade.
To God be the Glory!
"[Her] master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things...' " Matt 25:23a NIV.

PURPOSED
We're all in this together. God instructed me to start T.H.R.I.V.E. and continues to direct Faculty, Staff and Families our way. God's Favor on TCA has been consistent since day one; and will continue to be. #THRIVEstrong
ETHOS
"I just don't get it..."
A quote my students imitate me stating often. Essentially, it's my humility calling out to acknowledge that I may not understand them in every moment; yet love prevails. Out of love, the Faculty & Staff here strive to relate to our students in the same likeness which God is patient with us.

We are blessed! Our occupancy on this campus is nothing short of a miracle. Out of obedience, we pursued this campus in 2019 and the rest is history. Our future aspirations are to own our own campus complex.
Be in prayer with us :)
