The History of Trinity Oaks Christian Academy


In 1989, Trinity Oaks Christian Academy was founded (as Harvest Christian School) and incorporated by a group of committed Christian parents as a not-for-profit educational organization. Its chief desire was to honor the Lord by providing a quality, Christ-centered education for their children as an alternative to the public educational system. The establishment of TRINITY OAKS / HARVEST was bathed in prayer by these faithful visionaries. The school opened its doors in the fall of 1991 with ten students in kindergarten through grade four.
The school rented space in two different churches during its first two years of operation. In the fall of 1993, the school moved to the campus of the Evangelical Free Church of Crystal Lake.
In the fall of 1994, the school expanded to include a full program, kindergarten through grade eight, with an enrollment of sixty-five students. In 1999, the school extended its early childhood program to include a prekindergarten.
HCS / TOCA grew to occupy three campuses. In 2004, the name of the school was changed to TRINITY OAKS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY and our prayer to be united on one campus and under one roof was answered. We relocated to the Oak Knoll campus in Cary.
Over the years, Trinity Oaks Christian Academy has been successful in crafting a carefully refined and balanced program for early childhood, primary and intermediate grade levels. As enrollment has grown, the Lord has continued to provide and enable Trinity Oaks to fulfill its distinctive mission.
