Timothy Christian Schools

Timothy-Christian

Over 250 Elmhurst students. One mission.

 

For more than a century, Timothy Christian Schools has been a part of the Elmhurst community — educating and investing in the next generation of leaders, shaping lives, and strengthening families. Today, over 1,250 students attend Timothy, including more than 250 from Elmhurst who represent over 40 local area churches. Serving students from preschool through 12th grade, Timothy offers a continuous, connected educational journey that grows with each child. We are deeply grateful for the trust their families place in us.

As Elmhurst continues to grow and thrive, so does the Timothy community. More and more local families are choosing Timothy for its Christ-centered mission, rigorous academics, and intentional effort to develop leaders. From our youngest preschoolers taking their first steps into a classroom to high school seniors preparing to launch into college and career, every student is known by name, challenged to grow, and equipped to lead.

At Timothy, education isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our teachers partner with families to meet each student where they are—and help them take the next step. Whether it’s reading their first chapter book, presenting a science project, trying out for the musical, or running onto the court for a big game, we believe these moments matter. And they’re made even more meaningful by the supportive community that surrounds them.

We’re proud to be a distinctly Elmhurst school—anchored in faith, committed to excellence, and inspired by the families who call this city home. Thank you, Elmhurst, for being such an important part of the Timothy story.
