School Motto: Restoring Wisdom & Virtue in Education
Gulf Coast Classical Academy set out as a Full-Time K-8
Classical Latin Christian School in the spring of 2021 during the
COVID-19 pandemic. The school was incorporated under the name
Gulf Coast Classical Academy, Inc as a non-profit, Florida
registered private school in January 2022 and is governed by a
talented school board.
The Classical Latin Christian model naturally follows the
values and principles that were once commonplace in our nation's
education. After researching numerous private schools in the
area, it was found that this full-time model did not exist in
Pinellas County, FL. This led to the formation of Gulf Coast
Classical Academy.
As a Christian school, we recognize that God governs our
school, and our parents, teachers, administration, and school board
help foster an environment that adopts this philosophy. A
classical education complements this philosophy as it provides our
students with a thorough understanding of true history, wisdom, and
virtue through the works produced in the past by great minds,
thinking, and logic. The result is something remarkable; your
child will simultaneously gain an immense amount of knowledge in a
tech-free small class setting while learning how to behave civilly
and morally, and how to solve complex problems in a changing
world.
GCCA's parents, teachers, administration, and school board have
come together to form a dedicated community of individuals who will
deliver a far superior education and environment to your
child. The caliber of GCCA's faculty is impressive by any
standard. This school was formed to spread God's word and
joy, and to be enjoyable and fulfilling for all those involved;
this is His school and our teachers and administration are the
vessels. Children are a gift from God; it is incredible what
they can achieve in the right environment.
