School Notes Overview:

Greenforest/McCalep Christian Academic purpose is to provide a quality education by training and nurturing young people in both our Early Learning Center (ages 6 weeks - 4 years) and our Academy Program (grades K-12th). Our program integrates academic excellence with Christian principles, a love for God, a knowledge of His saving power, a sense of self-worth, a respect for others, and a strong sense of African-American heritage. All of our students are educated with Love in a disciplined, yet creative, environment. GMCAC is a unique institution of learning. Through a well-equipped environment, we prepare every child to meet life’s challenges and to pursue his or her personal aspirations. Students are educated to know whose they are in the Lord, and who they are as a people, thereby creating opportunities for a successful life. The Bible clearly gives us principles which underlie Christian education. ...read more
