Garland Christian Academy, a ministry of Lavon Drive Baptist Church, offers Christian families a Christ-centered, coeducational college preparatory program that is committed to spiritual and academic excellence, equipping all students to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and to effectively engage our increasingly complex culture and world for the cause of Christ. We at Garland Christian Academy take seriously the responsibility of helping you to prepare your children for the future. Our teachers have dedicated their lives to Christ and to the distinctive task of equipping students, individually and corporately, to exercise a productive place in society. We encourage students to be loving, cooperative family members in their homes. We at GCA provide for parents an island of influence in the education of their children. In a day when the traditional family is under siege, GCA stands as an environment for healthy family reinforcement.
