School Profile

Terra Ceia Christian School

School Overview

Terra Ceia Christian School, established in 1937, provides a liberal arts, college preparatory education with a Christian perspective for students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our Mission is to equip students academically, spiritually, and socially to serve Jesus Christ in all areas of life.

Our Goals…
That every student understands that a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour determines the meaning of life.
That every student understands their uniqueness and that they are created with gifts that God intends them to use to impact the world for Him.
That every student develops the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully attend college or enter their chosen vocation.
That every student is prepared for the responsible use of their abilities, talents, and time by developing a well-defined Christian worldview.

Here at TCCS, families find an extension of their Christ-centered home. Students experience a group of loving Christian teachers that nurture spiritually and socially in addition to teaching their academic subjects. Students will learn about Jesus and see his love modeled by their teachers as well as have great academic, athletic and fine arts experiences.

Students will be prepared academically for college and career in the context of a Christian Worldview, preparing them to lead and impact the world for Jesus Christ.

School History

On March 3, 1937, a small group of parents, concerned about Christian education, met in Terra Ceia with the idea to establish a school where their children could receive a formal education based up on the solid foundation of God's Word. They organized themselves into "THE TERRA CEIA CHRISTIAN SOCIETY FOR CHRISTIAN EDUCATION”.

With an unwavering faith in God, they committed themselves to building a school. In founding Terra Ceia Christian School, they began the legacy of Christian education in eastern North Carolina.

Today the Terra Ceia Christian School Society remains faithful to its commitment. Our purpose is to manifest, especially in the lives of our students, the realities of being a follower of Christ. At its best, Christianity must influence all aspects of life, especially nurturing us in the love of the Lord during the formative years of our youth. Terra Ceia Christian School provides a coeducation, liberal arts, college preparatory education with a Christian perspective for students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Our success is not a result of protest nor a desire to provide an alternative for parents disenchanted with public education. Rather, the traditions of Terra Ceia Christian School affirm parent, not the state, as responsible for directing their children’s education and acknowledge wholeheartedly that God and His Word are the foundation for our lives, our education, and our view of the world in which we live. To God alone do we give praise and honor for our success and continued ability to provide Christian education for our families and students.
