In the past, I have written and posted extensively on Tyler area private schools and other local educational opportunities. King’s Academy represents one of our area’s more unique educational establishments. As a University Model School, King’s college style schedule and admissions process helps to better prepare local young people for the experience of higher education. The School is a non-denominational institution that accepts students from any Christian denomination, and has as its goal to foster and cultivate parental and family relationships.
After six years of operation and somewhere around twenty graduated seniors later, the school is reaching out to the local Tyler community to help raise scholarship funds for students who have the desire to attend the school, but may lack the financial means. As a rule, the school’s tuition runs about one half, to three fourths what is charged by other area private schools, and they remain committed to providing a top notch academic education, in a religious setting, to local families for relatively low tuition costs.
On May 1st King’s Academy will be holding its second annual Bowl-a-thon at Green Acres Bowling Lanes, in Tyler. The students will be collecting individual sponsorships who agree to a “per pin” donation. King’s has also invited area churches, private schools and homeschoolers to come out and participate in the event. The annual fund raiser is a great opportunity to support a local Tyler school, and not for profit ministry. Individuals who would like to participate in the event, in some capacity, whether through donations, sponsorships or bowling for dollars, are encouraged to contact King’s Academy by phone at (903)534-9992.
