Our Mission

Who we are

Tree of Life Academy and Early Learning Center, Inc.(aka: Branches Academy and Early Learning Center) is a non-profit, religious exempt, educational ministry of Tree of Life Ministries. We hope that you will become part of our family.  We currently offer either a three or five day pre-school/daycare program.  We offer kindergarten through fifth grade.  We provide before and after school care for Tree of Life Academy students and students of Tomahawk, Leesville Road and Heritage Elementary schools. We teach in a developmentally appropriate classroom and all teachers are fully prepared both professionally and spiritually for an academic ministry with children.  Curriculum materials are chosen primarily from A Beka since it is Christian-based, and emphasizes  the development and enhancement of reading skills. Tree of Life Academy and Early Learning Center is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International. Our number one priority at Tree of Life Academy and Early Learning Center is to lead your child to a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, and to instill in him/her the knowledge needed to lead a successful life in today’s troubled world. The goals of education are not easy to achieve, but diligent efforts of godly teachers empowered by the Holy Spirit can have an eternal impact on young people.  Our school does not supplant the home or church but supplements them. When the home, church and school have the same goals, the student can thrive.  Our commitment is to honor God and bring glory to Christ by developing Christ-likeness in character and conduct in the lives of the students who attend Tree of Life Academy and Early Learning Center and to encourage their commitment to serving God faithfully with the knowledge and skills they receive.  We hope and pray that you will join with us as we move forward for Christ.
