Introduction
We are a group of parents choosing to educate our children at home. We have joined together under one private school affidavit in accordance with California State Law as Tower Christian School. We have legal nonprofit tax exempt status with the State of California and the Federal Government (IRS). The school is governed by a board of directors as outlined in our bylaws. (Available upon request)
We are united in our belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We are evangelical in nature and welcome believers from different denominations, with the understanding that the leadership team and school policies will stem from a Biblical/Evangelical faith.
Tower Christian School is not an accredited diploma granting school.
