Overview
Marshall Christian Academy opened in August 2006 with Kindergarten thru 4th grade.
Currently we have K2 through grade 9 with plans to add at least one grade per year will be added until the Academy reaches the 12th grade.
The facility has 13 new classrooms, a gym, lunchroom, and a large outside baseball field/play area.
Classrooms are wired to have computers, phones, and television. The Academy serves hot lunches each day cook on site.
GCCA is a member school of the Association of Classical Christian Schools and provides a Classical Christian education that is a time-tested educational system which establishes a biblical worldview, incorporates methods based on natural phases of child development, cultivates the seven Christian virtues, trains students in reasoning through the Trivium (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric), and engages children in "the great conversation" through the historical Great Books.
