High School (9-12)

Grades 9 - 12

High school is the exciting culmination of a student's experience at Toledo Christian. Most importantly, for some, it is the time where they first begin to understand God and their need for His forgiveness through Jesus Christ. This is the reason our teachers do not just teach subjects or merely prepare students to take a test, but rather lead students to discover and appreciate the truth, goodness, and beauty of God as revealed in all subjects. All of this is accomplished within the context of a supportive Christian community where godly character is valued and fostered.
 

Curriculum

Our high school curriculum encourages students to be well-versed in the Great Conversation, engaging the Great Minds on:  God, Man, Truth, Goodness, Beauty, and Virtue in order to establish a more perfect communion with God and His creation. Our students learn to excel in verbal, written, and technological skills for effective communication in the Rhetoric Stage of the curriculum. We challenge our students to think critically, research and analyze effectively, draw logical conclusions, and make wise choices in order to enable them to pursue continuing education and career goals to which they aspire.

College Preparation

The Guidance office at Toledo Christian will engage with students throughout their high school career in order to facilitate decision making and support intentional steps for post high school plans. Preparing students for life after high school begins as early as their freshman year and is based on a holistic approach incorporating the student’s beliefs, values, character, and calling. Students meet with the guidance counselor to discuss grades, ACT testing, the college application process, and scholarships, and upperclassmen attend quarterly College/Career lunches for presentations by college, trade, and career representatives.

Toledo Christian offers a variety of courses which includes Honors classes as well as Advanced Placement and College Credit Plus options for high school students to pursue in preparation for their future. In addition, sophomores take the pre-ACT and juniors have the option of an ACT Prep course prior to taking the ACT.

  • Each senior class has their own Google Guidance Classroom where scholarships, college information, summer camps, leadership opportunities, and more are posted! High school students are also encouraged to take advantage of college visits and career/job shadowing opportunities.
 

Counseling and Guidance

Toledo Christian offers a Licensed School Counselor to assist students with their social, emotional, and personal counseling needs as well as a Guidance Counselor for academic and career planning.

Academic Resource Center

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) provides resources to promote student academic achievement and to help students achieve their highest academic potential. Services include assistance with organization and study skills, drop-in tutoring to review lessons, and more regular, scheduled tutoring for students who need consistent help in a particular subject. Tutors are provided for all subjects taught at Toledo Christian. Our Student Support Coordinator monitors grades and contacts families if their student is struggling academically.  If students require more extensive assistance, individual Academic Success Plans are developed in partnership and collaboration with families and outline specific study habits and daily routines to help each student be successful.

Toledo Christian is a Jon Peterson provider, with an on-site Intervention Specialist to provide tailored care to Jon Peterson students.

 

Technology

Toledo Christian is committed to the responsible use of technology to enhance learning while also protecting students from the dangers inherent in the use of technology. TC maintains an up-to-date and relevant 1:1 technology program that complements our classical Christian education. All students in grades 7-12 are provided with a school-owned Chromebook which must be returned in working condition at the end of the year. Only school-owned devices will be connected to the school network.

Student Life

Helping each student become the person God created him or her to be means focusing on developing the whole person - academically, athletically, artistically, and spiritually.  We hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance, creativity, and education.  Beyond the classroom, we provide our high school students with enriching programs and activities that expand their minds and provide fun in fellowship with one another.
