Tabernacle Christian School was founded in 1974 as a ministry of Gardendale Baptist Tabernacle.  The K3-12 private school was founded for the purpose of assisting the home in training young lives in accordance with sound Biblical principles that will contribute to the spiritual, academic, and social growth of its students.

The mission of Tabernacle Christian School is to teach Biblical truths, share the plan of salvation, and train students to draw closer to Christ, while providing a Bible-based, academically advanced education with quality programs.

TCS is a member of the Alabama Christian Education Association (ACEA).  Within this conference we participate in academic and fine arts competitions, and inter-scholastic sports, such as football, basketball, cheerleading and baseball/softball.  Tabernacle Christian School is also a member of the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS), a nationally recognized organization for Christian Schools.
