Serving the South Sound with dynamic Christian education
Established 1960
Transformed 2021
Renewed 2022
Sound Christian Academy, formerly Tacoma Baptist Schools, offers Pre-Kindergarten through 12th-grade Christian education to families throughout the South Sound. Our curriculum is Christ-centered, and all subject matter is designed to include Biblical integration.
The term academy helps define our academic model and differentiates us from public schools and other institutions in the private school consortium. It also reflects the biblical saturation students receive in curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities.
This spiritual formation represents our special or particular field along with the aspects of mental, emotional, social, and physical development.
