Discover our rich history, dedicated faculty, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional Christian education that shapes hearts, minds, and futures.
Truth Academy was established in 1995 by a group of passionate educators and community leaders who shared a common vision: to create an educational institution where academic excellence and biblical truth would flourish together.
What began as a small gathering of families seeking quality Christian education has grown into a thriving academic community that serves students from across the region. Our founders believed that education should not merely fill minds with knowledge, but should also shape hearts with wisdom and character.
Today, three decades later, Truth Academy continues to honor this founding vision while adapting to meet the evolving needs of modern students preparing for college and careers in the 21st century.
Truth Academy exists to prepare students for the real world by providing a holistic, faith-centered education that integrates biblical principles with rigorous academic curriculum, emphasizing character development, critical thinking, and spiritual growth for college and life readiness.
