History

In the spring of 1978, members from the Linden Church of Christ, Beechwold Church of Christ, and Minerva Park Church of Christ came together to form the first school board of what was then called Linden Christian School. Over the years, Northeast Church of Christ, Indianola Church of Christ, Westerville Christian Church, North Park Church of Christ, Discover Christian Church, Hilliard Church of Christ, Worthington Christian Church, and Rock City Church joined the effort.

The initial student body was 47 students, preschool - grade 3.

Jayne Marrah, Tree of Life's first administrator, began with four other faculty. The school has grown to over 175 staff members.

Initially housed in the Linden Church of Christ, the school now has 5 campus locations (3 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school) and a district central office.

The school is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools, International (ACSI) [4] and by AdvancED (Cognia). [2]
