Since 1918, Tidewater Christian Academy (TCA) has long established itself as a building block to academic achievement in Christian education. TCA offers academic instruction with an emphasis on excellence in general studies, character education and Christian service. Although most students are members of the Seventh-day Adventist faith, all students who meet basic admission requirements are enrolled without regard to religion, gender or race. A diverse school body, TCA is comprised of individuals from multiple cultural backgrounds. The atmosphere at TCA is one of unity and acceptance.
At Tidewater Christian Academy, our mission is to provide students with the opportunity to develop a Christian character and to prepare them for effective, lifelong service to their church, community and society through a comprehensive K-8 curriculum.
We are committed to helping each student to understand and adopt principles such as truth, obedience, service, self-discipline, and Christian love while also achieving excellence in academics. This is accomplished as we seek God's guidance and direction, follow the curriculum designed by knowledgeable professionals, and work together to support and encourage each other.

Save the Date -> Sunday, August 17 -> Tidewater Christian Academy is hosting an event for everyone within our Tidewater Adventist Community and beyond. Starting at 3:00pm, the homeroom classrooms will be opened for our Annual Prayer Walk. We'd love for you to come and spend some time praying over each student and teacher. Each one has a prayer card that you may sign when you've prayed. These cards are keepsakes that families look back on as they remember how God has blessed in their lives and that their children have been prayed over. At 4:00, we'll have a short Constituency Meeting. This meeting provides you with an opportunity to hear more about how God is working within our school and our community. We'll vote on the budget for the year and have an opportunity to meet with the board members. Between 3:00 and 5:00, we'll have an ice cream truck available on campus. Come get a sweet, frozen treat which will help support the school! Non-dairy options will also be available. At 5:00, all enrolled students and families are invited to stay by for Back to School Night. They'll have a chance to meet the teachers, find out what to expect in their classrooms this year and drop off school supplies. We are looking forward to seeing each of you on Sunday, August 17.
*Tidewater Christian Academy invites you to participate in 30 Days of Prayer. Starting today (July 19), a unique prayer topic will be shared each day on our social media pages. Please take a moment to pray for that topic. Then, comment that you've prayed and share the post so that others in your circle can join us in prayer. This is a great way to lift your school before the Lord as we approach a new school year. If you're not on social media, a printable version is available (attached). We can't wait to pray with you.
