Philosophy:
Since one of the basic purposes of G.C.A. is Christian leadership education, it is only right that Christian training has an important place in the life of the school.

•Chapel- Weekly chapel sessions are held with an administrator/principal/children’s pastor supervising each service. Attendance is required.

-
•Daily Devotions and Prayer- Daily devotions are held in each classroom.
-
•Bible Class- A vital part of the curriculum is Bible memorization and familiarization with Bible stories.
-
•Programs- Christmas and End-of-Year plays are planned to acquaint the children with stories and events from the Bible through song and drama.
Curriculum:
Curriculum will be geared to promoting skills of reading, math, writing, and communication. Academic excellence is the goal.
The grading system of our school is designed to give parents a true indication of the student’s progress or lack thereof. Report cards are issued every nine weeks. Parent/Teacher conferences help the parents understand their child’s progress in school.
