Reviewed:

Thomas Sumter Academy (TSA) is one of your private school options if you are stationed at Shaw AFB. We chose to send our Sophomore son here because the options in the public high schools were not favorable (in our opinion) unless you're willing to move to the Columbia area. So far, we've been very pleased with both the academics and the athletics. This is a Christian based school and they stick to their Christian principles without being overbearing or too strict. The academics are challenging compared to what we see with our middle school kids, who are by the way in the best public middle school in the county. My rating realistically would be a score of 4.5 because there are some things we don't like, but it's not enough to warrant downgrading to 4.0. Check it out--you won't be blown away by the facilities like one of the other private schools in the county, but Thomas Sumter Academy has solid academics and caring teachers, coaches, and administrative staff that make you feel like family. Oh, and our Sophomore son is very happy at TSA!
