Sound Christian Academy opened its doors officially in 2021. Formerly known as Tacoma Baptist Schools and founded in 1960, the school adopted its new name to broaden its reach to churches, neighborhoods, and families . We came to this name change decision with prayerful contemplation, collegial conversation, and much deliberation.
“Sound” adjectives include: solid, firm, stable, secure, reliable, thorough, orthodox, showing good judgment or sense. This spiritual formation represents our “special or particular focus” along with the aspects of mental, emotional, social, and physical development.
By Pastor Rich Hamlin
Perhaps, there has never been a greater need for Christian education than at present. This is why Tacoma Baptist Schools, now Sound Christian Academy, exists. It is to immerse students in a biblical worldview.
The teachers worked together with the same focus, and more than one mentored me. They were amazing at integrating the Bible into everything. It was exactly what I needed at that time where I learned to be a good person and live out my faith.”
For me, the school was a perfect incubator. My teachers encouraged me. And with that nurturing, I found a place to grow beyond what I thought I could do and be.”
Curriculum is Christ-centered, and all subject matter is designed to include Biblical integration.
