After much prayer and consideration, we are sharing with heavy hearts that Tulare Christian Academy will not be moving forward with opening in 2026.
Over the past few years, many steps have been made toward making this vision a reality, and we are deeply grateful for the community support received along the way. At this time, however, it has become clear that the necessary foundation to launch is not yet fully in place.
We are still seeking the right home for the school, in addition to committed founding families and partnerships with local churches. Our desire has always been to offer a Christ-centered education that is both excellent and truly affordable and accessible for families in our community. At this point, we do not believe this is possible without those foundational pieces in place.
Starting and sustaining a Christian school in California also involves many operational and regulatory requirements, even for nonprofit and faith-based organizations.
While this news is disappointing, we remain full of faith. We know God is bigger than any obstacle, and we trust His timing completely.
We still believe deeply in the vision of Christ-centered education for the children and families of Tulare. In the meantime, we are prayerfully considering other ways to support local families and share God's word with the children of our community.
Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support. We are open to prayer, advice, questions, and conversation as we excitedly await the Lord’s direction for what's next for Tulare Christian Academy.
