Tengei Christian Academy has developed a Code of Conduct as a positive means of encouraging appropriate behavior. The Code of Conduct simply represent the desired behaviors and habits that students are expected to model and practice daily. We will consistently challenge students to consider their behavior and contributions to school life in terms of the Code of Conduct.

The School Mission is achieved in a safe, secure, and supportive environment where behavior is based on a commitment to mutual respect for all members of Tengei Christian Academy family.
