Our 6th year here at GCA and I am a bigger fan each year. I love how they balance such a quality education, rich enrichments and an atmosphere where everyone feels seen and valuable.

I can tell you transferring our child from public to this private school was the best thing we could have done for our child. GCA is the most loving, nurturing and academically challenging schools. If you want your child to to be loved and taught true christian values, then this is the place.
