Meet the TKA Team
The teacher is at the heart of The King’s Academy’s pursuit of excellence.
In addition to all full-time teachers possessing a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and educational certification, we ensure that our teachers are spiritually mature believers, called and equipped by God with hearts for shepherding and instructing our most precious gifts: our children. This is especially important because the character of our teachers will be mirrored in their students.
Everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. (Luke 6:40, ESV)
For this reason, TKA does not compromise on a stringent faculty selection process — our goal is to build a faculty that reflects the character of Christ and passion for ministering and teaching.
