GCA LIFE
Why GCA?
Guardian Christian Academy is about community. It’s our talented and hardworking students who journey through our campus. Our dedicated and exceptional faculty show up each day prepared to invest in the lives of our students. Our committed parents partner with teachers to support their child’s education. Our community works together to create an extraordinary learning experience.
GCA is also a place of opportunity, where each student is known and challenged to do their personal best and where students have the opportunity to grow and stretch themselves with new subjects and extracurricular activities.
Our Story
Guardian Christian Academy started as a preschool over 45 years ago and has evolved to a dually accredited program offering a Christ-centered education to students from ages preschool to 12th grade. GCA serves the Chesterfield community by providing families with a safe and caring environment for their children to learn and grow both spiritually and academically. Our education cultivates strong principles and values through scripturally based instruction to develop practical life and leadership skills that equip our young leaders for great impact. Our programs such as technology, art, theater, music, physical education, and foreign language afford students new learning experiences expanding their knowledge and critical thinking skills. Competitive sports programs are available in our new Sports Complex as well.

When Southside Church relocated to the corner of Route 288 and Courthouse Road in 1999, the school incorporated, becoming Guardian Christian Academy. Over time, programs were added, and an elementary school began. Music, Art, PE, Spanish, Library, and Technology instruction rounded out the elementary education. Through the years, the dreams for a competitive sports program and the addition of an upper school developed and became a reality.
Today Guardian Christian Academy provides quality educational services for children ages 2 through High School.
