Mrs. Alicia Dyke
Personal Profile
I feel so blessed that I was able to begin and now continue my teaching career at Timothy Christian School. Once a rival of Timothy Christian, attending Southwest Chicago Christian and Chicago Christian High School, I am grateful to have personally known the value of Christian education while growing up. I travel each day to Timothy from Schererville, Indiana, where I live with my husband Tim. The many miles traveled and many dollars spent in my commute are truly worth the opportunity to teach at TCS.
Professional Profile
I graduated from Trinity Christian College in May of 2007 with degrees in both elementary education and special education. During my time at Trinity, I spent much of my time serving as a member of the Council for Exceptional Children, leading Sign Language Club, tutoring, and working in the campus bookstore. During my last semester at Trinity, I was able to spend seven weeks student teaching at Timothy Christian with Julie Louwerse and a wonderful group of fifth graders. What an absolute blessing that experience turned out to be. I could not have asked for more in a cooperating teacher, school staff, and student body. During my time student teaching, I was able to clearly see God's hand at work in this school through my daily interactions with the supportive teachers and involved parents. After seven weeks of being a part of this Christ-centered community as a student-teacher, I was so excited to begin my work here as the 6th grade language arts and reading teacher, doing my absolute best to model Christ in my daily thoughts, words, and actions.
Philosophical Profile
I feel so blessed to share both the responsibility and the privilege with parents in educating God’s children. My goal as a teacher is to help every child learn of God’s love for them, develop their full physical, mental, and social potential, and become a Christ-like servant in their homes, communities, and world at large. By example, I also hope to show them what it is to allow Christ to shine through all that they do and say each day.
“Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!” Deuteronomy 32:2-3
