Chapel is held weekly in the Thunderbird Adventist Academy auditorium, on Friday at 11:15 a.m. Each week a specific class is responsible for chapel. This provides opportunity for students to gain experience in public speaking, praying and participating in drama activities. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend.

The Thunderbird Christian Elementary School music program is designed to help students appreciate music through performance. Learned techniques in the K-2nd vocal choir include: music theory, melody, rhythm, tempo, steady and syncopated beats, call and response, diction, pitch and direction, and members of the orchestra families. 3rd and 4th grade students learn hand chime, 5th through 8th grades participate in the junior high band and junior high bell choir.

Daily Worship/Bible Classes
Each classroom at TCE starts the day with worship. This helps the students realize that the best way to start each day is with Jesus. Bible classes are also an important aspect of TCE. Each class has key learning objectives for the school year to complete.

Athletics
TCE is fortunate to have access to Thunderbird Adventist Academy's swimming pool and gymnasium for physical education classes. The first part of each school year begins with swimming for PE and culminates in a swim meet where awards are given to all participants as well as those who excel in each event. The rest of the year, the gymnasium is used to allow the students to gain experience in other sports, including basketball and volleyball.
