Grace Christian Academy's mission is to provide a quality education for our children as an extension of the Christian home.
This is not a school to reform or correct inappropriate behaviors and attitudes, whether they are a result of problems in the home environment or a result of negative school and peer influences.
The purpose to which we commit is that the children entrusted to our care will learn true love for god, and that they will come to a full understanding and appreciation for what it means to live as Christians in America.
We will teach about America's Christian heritage and the qualities that have made her people great.
A high priority will be given to having respect for those in authority, for obedience to law, and for self-discipline.

My 4 children love GCA and so do I. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and caring. We had a great first year last school year and are excited for the coming year!

My nephew was getting failing grades at the nearby elementary school, rated 3 out of 10 by greatschools. We got him into GCA Covington this fall 2013, where he started getting A's. What a great change! I''m so happy about this and the improved prospects for his future because of it. Meanwhile, his little brother started Kindergarten along side him, and is making A's too. What I like most about my nephew's new school is the self-paced educational strategy, which is allowing him first to catch up and soon to excel. And as I''m sure most schools have as well, he's surrounded by a number of caring, responsible adults who can serve as good role models. They''re truly dedicated and aren't being stifled or hand-tied by the government school system.
