The people behind TKA.

Dr. Thomas's experience in education extends over 30 years, serving as elementary school teacher, instructional specialist, educational consultant and adjunct college professor, Sr. Administrator/Principal at Fellowship Christian Academy and Scofield Christian School, Dallas Co-Director of the Texas Private School Association, and Regional/National Accreditation Commissioner and Field Director for the Association of Christian Schools International.

Under Dr. Thomas's leadership, Fellowship Christian Academy received its initial accreditation status from ACSI and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, expanded to middle school, implemented a college preparatory curriculum, successfully incorporated computer technology into the adopted curriculum, and experienced exponential growth. At Scofield Christian School, she and the faculty strategically grew enrollment 61 percent.

Dr. Thomas is the inaugural Head of School of The King's Academy. She believes that education involves more than a child's intellectual abilities; it should ultimately inspire learners to fulfill God's purpose in their lives. She co-authored two Amazon best-selling children's books, Image Bearer and Genesis: The Beginning. Her primary ministry is to her husband of forty years, Richard, three grown daughters, and two grandchildren.

Sharyn Casey serves as Director of Development at The King's Academy, responsible for managing the staff and overseeing all donor relations, fundraising events, and major donations.

Sharyn brings a wealth of experience in the nonprofit sector, with over 25 years of local and national fundraising experience. She helps increase funding, expand the donor base, and enhance development and outreach strategies while following TKA's philosophy that God is the ultimate source for meeting the needs of our ministries (1 Chronicles 29:12-16; Philippians 4:19).

In her own words: "In my role as Director of Development, I am blessed to be surrounded by the most compassionate, dedicated team of staff focused on carrying out God's work with our students and their families. My hope is to be a living example of God's perfect love while promoting that The King's Academy is God's work."
