We are encouraged by what the State of Ohio is doing with the future of education. The Educational Choice program offers families who qualify an opportunity to receive a better, private education. Every child deserves a good education. At Temple Christian, we are part of that solution. The statistics show that a private education results in higher academic performance than in other schools. Temple has fewer problems with bullying, a higher teacher-to-student ratio per class, a great student retention rate, strong parent and student community service involvement, and much more. We would love the opportunity to serve your student and family. Take this opportunity and apply for an educational scholarship.
