Troy Christian High School

What Troy Christian High School does

Troy Christian Schools, Inc. is a private, non-profit, state-chartered Christian school operating a single integrated campus at 700 S Dorset Rd, Troy, Ohio. Founded in 1980 and chartered by the State of Ohio in 1982 (initially K-8, expanded to 18 months through 12th grade in 2001), the institution serves 781 students across three divisions: Troy Christian Early Childhood (TCEC, 185 students, 18 months through Pre-K, ODE-licensed, year-round 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM), Elementary (265 students, K-6, average class size 18-20), and Jr. High/High School (331 students, 7-12, college-preparatory curriculum with average ACT of 23.0). The school delivers instruction through classroom-based learning supported by SMART Boards, iPads, Chromebooks, a STEM lab with 3D printers and CNC machines, a state-of-the-art computer tech lab, and the Arbogast Performing Arts Center. A defining feature is the College Credit Plus (CCP) dual-enrollment partnership with Edison State Community College, Sinclair Community College, and Cedarville University, delivering 14-15 college courses on campus that allow graduating seniors to earn an average of 21 college credit hours (some exceeding 40). 71 employees staff the institution, with a documented leadership team including Superintendent Scott Smith, Early Childhood Principal LeeAnn Lechnir, Admissions Director Heather Peters, Technology Director Emily Knife, Guidance Director Steven Peterson, and Alternative Education Director Carol Hacker.

The business model is tuition-driven (2026-2027 rates: $9,032 K-6; $9,502 grades 7-8; $12,148 grades 9-12; $4,586-$6,750 for Alternative Education) billed monthly, semi-annually, or annually, supplemented by athletic participation fees ($250-$350), food service ($4.50-$6.50/meal), and ESM (Enrichment, Service & Ministry) week fees. Revenue is materially offset by participation in Ohio state scholarship programs: EdChoice Expansion ($6,165 K-8, $8,407 high school, sliding scale up to 450% FPL), EdChoice Designated, Jon Peterson Special Needs (up to $27,000), and Autism Scholarship. The Troy Christian Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) channels tax-credit-eligible donations (up to $750 individual / $1,500 couple) to a tuition-assistance pool. Demand generation operates primarily through community-led referral: families are drawn from 38 school districts and 77 different churches, with the school positioned as a hub via its hosting of the annual Miami Valley Christian College Fair and an active digital presence on Facebook, YouTube (TCHS and TCE Chapel channels), and Instagram. Career-technical partnerships with Miami Valley Career Technical Center and Upper Valley Career Center extend the high-school product surface into vocational pathways. The differentiation rests on a biblical worldview integrated across all subjects, the R2G2 (Respect, Responsibility, Gratitude, Genuineness) and SALT (Speak, Act, Lead, Think like Jesus) character frameworks, small class sizes, and quantifiable outcomes including 80% of graduates pursuing post-secondary education and 38 combined District, Region, and State athletic championships.
