In 1981, the expanded Toddler’s Academy was officially renamed Temple Christian School and it opened its doors in September with an enrollment of one hundred students, grades one through six, and 14 staff members, under the leadership of Dr. Dianne Major. In 1984, Mrs. Ethelyn Turnquest, a K4 Teacher, was given added responsibilities as the Head Teacher of the Pre-school. Then in 1986, the student population grew to over five hundred, from K2 to grade six. At the time there were twenty full-time and part-time instructors. In the same year the first grade seven junior high class was started with six students. In 1987, Mrs. Major hired Mr. Steven Edgecombe as Assistant Principal of the school.
In 1988, Temple Christian Junior High School expanded to include ten students in grade seven and three students in grade eight. In 1989, the school’s Administration building was destroyed by fire, so the Administration office was relocated to its present site on Fourth Terrace, Collins Avenue.
We extend a warm and hearty welcome to Temple Christian School, where educational excellence meets Christian values. For over four decades, our institution has been a beacon of high-quality Christian education in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
