Since 1970, our private Christian school has provided a nurturing learning environment for our students.
Tabernacle Christian School was founded in the fall of 1970 and continues as one of the longest-operating private schools in Hickory, North Carolina. We are a ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church and a member of the North Carolina Christian Schools Association and the American Association of Christian Schools. We serve families with students in PK3 – 12th grade from Catawba County and the surrounding areas. Since our establishment, we have existed to encourage and assist families that are committed to fulfilling the biblical mandate to provide a Christian education for their children. Our mission is to encourage students spiritually by emphasizing their personal accountability to God, to provide thorough academic instruction from a biblical worldview, to help students develop socially by teaching patriotism and respect for authority, and to support the family and the work of the local church.
 

We have identified ten foundational truths that are the basis for our Code of Conduct. In partnership with our families, teachers and administrators will emphasize the development of these truths in our students:
Courage
Holiness
Integrity
Kindness
Love
Respect
Service
Stewardship
Thankfulness
Unity
 

Our low student-to-teacher ratios, nurturing educational environment, and emphasis on teaching the same Christian values you promote at home will help your student thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
