I currently have two of my grandchildren enrolled at Gethsemane Christian Academy, and I'm truly impressed by the dedication of the Director, teachers, and aides. The entire team is incredibly welcoming and genuinely caring. It's clear they go above and beyond for both the children and their families. Their recent 4-star rating from AZ Quality First is a well-deserved reflection of the excellent work they're doing every day.
