Cultivating Christian Leadership Through Academics
At GCA, we believe that nurturing Christian values and leadership begins with a foundation in faith-based education woven into every part of school life. We are dedicated to helping students grow spiritually as they grow academically, with meaningful Christian learning experiences integrated into their daily routines.
- Chapel – Our weekly chapel sessions, led by our dedicated administrators, principals, or children's pastors, offer a space for worship, reflection, and community. These gatherings teach students the spirit of worship, respectful assembly, and offer practical teachings from the Bible, including uplifting Christian songs. We also invite inspiring guest speakers to enrich these sessions.
- Daily Devotions and Prayer – Each school day begins with devotions and prayer, fostering a peaceful and purposeful start as students connect with God and set intentions for learning and kindness.
- Bible Class – An essential part of our curriculum, Bible class invites students to immerse themselves in Bible stories and to develop memory skills through Bible verse memorization, enriching their understanding and appreciation of faith.
- Seasonal Programs – Our Christmas and End-of-Year plays bring the Bible's most cherished stories to life through song, drama, and celebration, allowing students to express their learning creatively while sharing these timeless stories with the school community.
Inspiring Excellence Through a Well-Rounded Curriculum
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to build a strong foundation in essential skills like reading, mathematics, writing, and communication, with a commitment to academic excellence guiding every subject. We aim to inspire a lifelong love of learning and to equip students with the tools they need for success.
To keep parents informed and engaged in their child’s academic journey, our grading system provides clear, meaningful insights into each student’s progress. Report cards are issued every nine weeks, offering a thorough review of growth and areas for improvement. Additionally, Parent-Teacher conferences create valuable opportunities for parents and teachers to collaborate on each child’s success and development.
