Our experience at GCA has been outstanding! The Gospel is prominent and integrated into all academic and social life, while following its guidelines in disciplinary matters, making for some great discipleship. GCA's Classical approach is not only challenging but has equipped our kids to enter the college arena prepared and to face their culture's hostile worldview in a way that is Christ-like and well-informed. Drawing students in from the Bronx to Suffolk County and from over 45 different school districts, there is a reason so many families go to such lengths to be here. We would find it difficult to go anywhere else after experiencing a GCA education!
We loved GCA before COVID19. Now we love it even more! Our children’s teachers were online with them two to three times a day, giving them assignments in each subject, instructing them in new material, assessing them online, and working over time to maintain their normal academic level. These teachers are making sure our kids are well prepared for next fall and they have sacrificed a lot to do it! We don’t want our kids to just get by but to develop stamina, steadfastness and character. We have certainly gotten what we asked for!
My son recently graduated Grace Christian Academy and I couldn’t recommend it more. During the last two years of the pandemic, the school did not skip a beat. They had remote learning set up in a week. When other schools were beginning hybrid classes, GCA were back full time.
My son started GCA in the ninth grade. It was a rough in the beginning. We didn’t realize how many bad habits he had succumbed to in public school. The teachers at GCA were a delight. I can only hope my son’s college professors have the same passion and patience.
If college is what you plan for your child, then GCA is no better place to send them. It will get your child ready for ongoing education. It will instill the discipline that they will need. The most important is that your child will have a Christian influenced education. The battle children have theses days is gigantic. GCA gives them the armor. They have open houses every year. Make some time check them out. I am blessed to be a GCA parent.
