Trimont Christian Academy was founded in 1982 by Juanita Arnold and Linda Brogden as a pre-school facility, the Early Childhood Learning Center. In 1992, the school was relocated to Bidwell Street in Franklin, NC. The building that once housed the Neal-Potts Funeral Home was significantly renovated and named Trimont Christian Academy. It also expanded to include kindergarten through sixth grades. In 1992 the school had ninety students and a staff of ten. By 1998 a middle school and high school were added.

In 2000, Trimont moved to its current location on Promise Lane. Recent additions are the hiring of an athletic director, and construction of a playground. Robert Ricotta was hired as school administrator in 2002 and recently announced plans to add twelve classrooms, a library, and a science lab to the current building. Current enrollment is 198 [2004-2005] which includes 10 home schoolers that attend a portion of each day, and 88 preschoolers. There are currently 31 staff and also many volunteers that make Trimont a great place to learn.
