The vision for TPCA started in 1976 when a nursery school opened within Traders Point Christian Church.

In 1988, TPCA completed a study for developing a grade school, one grade at a time. Its first Kindergarten class started in 1990. This one-grade-per-year plan soon blossomed. A middle school was added in 1999. By then, the school's facility needs outgrew the church's capacity to house it.

In the fall of 1999, arrangements were finalized with Zionsville Presbyterian Church to serve as a second campus, housing classes for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. 

In the spring of 2007 our early childhood program moved into the new Traders Point Christian Church building and the KG and older programs combined in a dedicated facility on the same property. We opened our new college preparatory High School division in August 2008. This division includes a one-to-one laptop program, international travel as an integral component of our January-Term academic period, along with Advance Placement (AP) and Dual-Credit courses (which provide both high school and early college credit). We recently added six additional classrooms to accomodate high school enrollment growth.

The next step for TPCA will be additional classrooms to accommodate expected growth in all programs, including dedicated facilities and athletic fields for our high school students.
