No Christian school in North America has a book-length history like His Faithfulness Continues. In its first century, Timothy Christian Schools grew from a small school of one teacher and thirty-four students to a school of over 1,000 students with an annual operating budget of $12 million. Read the story of Timothy Christian Schools from its founding in 1911 through the present day. It makes a great gift! 

Truly one of the most frequent compliments that I receive about Timothy is our spirit of unity. We’ve really stuck together through a year-long sequence of national and worldwide jarring events that have brought division in so many other places.

Come out and golf with us and support our student athletics. The Golf Scramble includes a 4-person scramble with two flights available (am or pm), lunch (grill options, which you can enjoy anytime from 10:30 am–12:15 pm), two beverage carts, exciting opportunities & contests throughout the day, drawings, and an awards reception with refreshments and dinner following golf.

On September 6, 13, 20 & 27, PiE is offering dance classes for 7th & 8th grade students every Friday night. All classes are from 7:00-8:30 pm in the grade school lunch room.

This will be an opportunity to become better acquainted with your child’s teacher and the curriculum that will be covered during the 2019-20 school year. Because of the design of the program and space limitations, we respectfully ask that the evening be reserved for parents only.

It has been a great start to a new school year, and the morning drop-off line has been no exception. Everything has been running smoothly from what we have been able to observe. Thank you!

Want to be more involved with your child’s classroom and teacher? Sign up to be a room parent! We have availability for preschool through eighth grade!

Join this long-standing tradition and volunteer as the picture lady (or guy!) for full-day kindergarten through 5th grade. 

Attention all 6-8th grade students! Do you like to act? Like to sing? Well, come one, come all! Dorothy, The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion, The Scarecrow and Toto are headed to Timothy Middle School this fall!

Register your full-day K-6th grade child for the Mama Maria’s PiE Pizza Fundraiser and you not only raise money for Timothy, but your child gets two pieces of cheese pizza EVERY Tuesday for lunch.
