At the beginning of the Summer I focused much of my writing attention on private schools and tutoring services in Tyler. One of the first schools I profiled was King’s Academy Christian School. Well, I have an amendment, or an addition to the piece I wrote in June. After five years sharing a facility with New Covenant Church on Shelley drive, the school has out grown that building, and is moving to a new location. King’s Academy will now be sharing a building with Trinity Baptist Church on Fourth Street in Tyler.
The school will retain its autonomy in terms of its government and denominational affiliation, (or lack thereof), but will partner with the church in order to share the cost of the facilities. The new location is beautiful, and will allow the school to continue to expand. The classes and programs offered by the school will not change too much immediately, but the staff hopes that the new digs will allow the school’s opportunities to grow along with the student body. Thankfully most of the faculty will be returning, so the Tyler schools immediate future continues to look bright.
King’s Academy in Tyler is enrolling now. Classes start on August twenty fourth, with open houses the proceeding week. To learn more about King’s see my earlier blog dated June seventeenth entitled “Something different in Education,” also located on this site.
