St. Timothy Christian Academy

What St. Timothy Christian Academy does

St. Timothy Christian Academy (STCA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit private K-12 school operating on the campus of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. Founded in 2006 by behavioral pediatrician Dr. Paul Warren to serve children with diagnosed learning differences, STCA provides full-day individualized instruction for students in grades K-12 with conditions including ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, processing and speech disorders, mood disorders, chromosomal disorders, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. The school is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), holds a Candid Transparency Seal, and is part of the Prestonwood Christian Academy system of schools, allowing students to integrate with PCA peers for extracurricular activities such as sports, band, and dances.

The instructional model is multi-sensory and TEKS-aligned, anchored by specialized programs including Alphabetic Phonics (remedial reading), the Responsibility Management System (behavior management), Adapted Physical Education, speech and language therapy, dyslexia therapy, social skills training, daily Bible instruction, art and music enrichment, and job skills training for older students. Technology exposure is delivered through a fully equipped iMac lab where students learn Microsoft Office and Apple iWork Suite applications, with iPads available for classroom and remote learning. The school maintains a low student/teacher ratio and approximately 18 faculty/staff including certified teachers, instructional assistants, a Speech Language Pathologist, a language therapist, and an Adapted P.E. teacher.

STCA generates revenue primarily through annual tuition ($27,550 for K-5 and $28,100 for grades 6-12 for the 2026-2027 school year), a $1,000 new-student enrollment fee, a $200 senior fee, and tax-deductible donations to the 501(c)(3). Tuition may be paid in full, semi-annually, or monthly via FACTS Tuition Management. Tuition assistance is available through a need-based process administered by FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, and the school participates in the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program. GTM is community-driven: families enter through an online inquiry form, attend a campus tour, complete a 3-5 day classroom visit, and finalize an enrollment contract, supported by student and parent testimonials and a published school calendar.
