What began as a small ministry of Tower Grove Church, now boasts an enrollment of nearly 300 students from infancy through 8th grade, serving families from St. Louis, Jefferson, Franklin, and St. Charles counties, as well as the City of St. Louis and western Illinois. Tower Grove Christian Academy provides a preschool program where children play, learn, experiment, and grow at their own rate. We also provides a challenging and comprehensive elementary and middle school program. TGCA develops competence in Bible, English, fine and practical arts, mathematics, physical education, technology, health, science and social studies, and prepares students for success at the high school level. We want to serve our community through intentional teaching and discipling the children and students who walk through our doors.
