Dear Parents of Prospective TKA Students:
Choosing a school for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At TKA, we listen very carefully and intentionally to parents who tell us repeatedly that they are concerned with the development of their child's whole being, especially their spiritual development.
The King’s Academy is extraordinary because of our commitment to Jesus Christ. This is His school. Our mission statement sums it up, “The King’s Academy is a Christ-centered school that inspires academic excellence, servant leadership, and enduring relationships.” We believe that God has uniquely called every faculty and staff member to help fulfill our school’s mission.
TKA is a place where we are not just interested in your student's academic, spiritual, and extracurricular development. It is a place where your student will be accepted, loved, and poured into as we do life together. That is what an ‘enduring relationship’ is all about. We are FOR your student! And, our Lord is FOR your student!The King’s Academy uses daily opportunities to mature students spiritually and help them grow in their relationship with God (Luke 2:52) through Bible classes, home groups, retreats, chapels, rallies, peer groups, mentoring and service. I encourage you to read our Core Values which detail our commitment to your child.
Year after year, The King’s Academy is rated as one of the best Private Christian schools in California (ranked an A+ school by Niche). We encourage you to visit TKA to see what makes us special. Drop by for one of our Open House events or one of our many athletic competitions or fine arts performances. Let our wonderful Admission’s Director, Michele Duncan, take you on a tour and answer any questions you may have. You will find that our staff and students are always welcoming, and you can see firsthand the TKA difference.
TKA really is a special place. I hope you take the time to come and visit us at The King’s Academy and learn what it means to "Be a Knight"!
In His Service,
Jeff Freeman
Head of School
Jeff Freeman comes to TKA from Indianapolis, IN, where he served as CEO for ten years at Heritage Christian School (HCS), a PK – 12, 1500-student school that, under Jeff's leadership, has been identified as the "Top College Prep School in Central Indiana."
Prior to serving as CEO, he was Chief Financial Officer and Athletic Director. During his tenure at HCS, Jeff was responsible for the financial turnaround of the school. He also established a Teach, Mentor, Train (TMT) model for discipleship and started a Young Life chapter.
Jeff brings a deep love for Jesus, a strong affection for kids, a passion for mentoring staff, a wealth of financial and business acumen, experience in both educational and corporate settings, and a zeal for Christian education.
When asked what drew him to The King's Academy, Jeff stated he is drawn to every aspect of TKA’s mission to inspire academic excellence, servant leadership, and enduring relationships. Jeff is also excited about the challenging goals outlined in TKA’s Strategic Plan, remarking, "God is up to something at TKA, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. Seeing students' lives transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit and Christian education fires me up."
Jeff joins TKA with his wife, Kim, who has been in full-time Christian education for 30 years, including as an assistant principal. Jeff and Kim first met in high school and were both involved in Young Life as teenagers.
There is something so fresh and exciting about a new school year! Next week, we look forward to welcoming 244 new students and 741 returning students for a total of 985 students we get to educate, mentor, and love!
I began my tenure at TKA on July 5 and have spent the last month getting to know TKA and the many administrative staff working through the summer. On Monday, 21 new and 128 returning employees began a week of training and preparation for the year
TKA is accredited by ACSI & WASC.
