Life as a Lion
Life at TKA is shaped by faith, friendship, discovery, competition, creativity, and a community where students are known by name.
A place to belong. A place to grow. A place to become.
Being a Lion means more than attending classes. Students learn alongside people who know them, encourage them, challenge them, and help them discover how their God-given gifts can be used with purpose.
The moments that make a school feel like home.
Learning, laughter, teamwork, friendship, exploration, and shared traditions all become part of a student’s story here.

Faith shapes how we teach, lead, serve, treat one another, and help students understand their place in God’s story.
Belong to something bigger.
Middle and Upper School students belong to one of three Houses, creating smaller communities for leadership, service, competition, discipleship, and school spirit.
Agape
A community shaped by Christ-like love, service, encouragement, and care for others.
Charis
A community shaped by humility, gratitude, grace, and encouragement.
Logos
A community shaped by biblical truth, wisdom, conviction, and courage.
A bigger world. A place to belong.
For students in Grades 7–12, life at TKA can extend beyond the school day. Boarding students live, learn, worship, compete, create, and build friendships alongside classmates from across the United States and around the world.
Residence Life is intentionally relational. Caring staff provide structure, accountability, academic support, encouragement, and the everyday presence that helps a residence hall begin to feel like home.

Weekend Adventures
Compete with purpose.
Lion Athletics challenge students to pursue excellence while developing discipline, teamwork, perseverance, leadership, and Christ-like character.
Create with purpose.
Through music, theatre, and visual arts, students develop their God-given creativity, build confidence, collaborate with others, and learn to communicate with excellence.
Students have room to discover where they fit.
Some of the most important growth happens when students try something new, take responsibility, serve others, build friendships, and make memories together.
Clubs, interests & leadership
Students can discover new interests, develop skills, contribute ideas, and grow as leaders.
Traditions & community
Homecoming, performances, celebrations, House events, service days, and school traditions create shared experiences.
Shared experiences
Students learn that community is something they help create.
Prepared for what comes next.
Life as a Lion is ultimately about becoming the person God has called you to be. Students leave TKA carrying more than a diploma. They carry relationships, experiences, convictions, skills, and a community that helped shape them.
