A Note From Mr. Sandefur

Lion Family,

Welcome back! I pray that this past week was such a blessing for you and your family and that you were able to make quality memories with friends and family. We have officially reached the final stretch of the academic year and are preparing for the mad dash to graduation. Please join me in praying specifically for our seniors and their parents as the next few weeks will go very quickly and be meaningful for them during this special season.

I had the distinct pleasure of traveling with twenty of our students and parents to Europe over spring break and am grateful to report that our students had an incredible learning experience. One of my favorite aspects of The King’s Academy is the global mindset that exposes students to the world we live in and how the Creator is glorified through his creation.

Upon returning from Europe, Lee Smith and I were able to attend the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board’s retreat for Partner Ministries. This retreat allowed us to share the good news of all that is occurring on our campus and through the reach of this incredible ministry. Please join me in continuing to pray for our partnership with the TBMB as we partner together to develop servant leaders that will change the world for Christ.

Jeremy Sandefur
President/Head of School

Visitor Policy

TKA Visitor Policy

In order to help maintain a safe and instructionally based learning environment for our students, all visitors for middle and high school must enter through the front door of the Anderson Building and sign in in the middle/high school office in order to receive a visitor's pass. All visitors for elementary must enter the front door of the Ogle Building in order to receive a visitor's pass. This pass should be visible at all times so that TKA faculty and staff know that you have checked in at the office.

Our doors are open to visitors, but please call ahead of time to schedule conferences with your child’s teachers. This will prevent interruptions to instruction and the loss of the valuable learning time of our students. Adults will not be allowed to wander the halls of the building or hold conferences with teachers during instructional times.

TKA family lunch visitors should follow the above procedure. Lunch tickets are $5 each.

Students who are not enrolled at TKA are not permitted to visit TKA students during the school day, which includes lunch.

This policy has been developed in order to help maintain a safe and instruction focused environment at school each day. Any visitor who does not meet these expectations may be asked to leave school grounds.
