Academic Excellence

Our middle and high school teachers are committed to the development of strong minds and Godly character. Communication with parents is consistent and on-going, and our curriculum incorporates the Virginia SOL’s. Course instruction is designed to challenge students intellectually, promote a drive for excellence, and build each student’s level of personal responsibility. 
In addition to the core academic subjects of English, Math, Science, History, and Bible students gain instruction in the areas of World Language, Technology, Fine Arts, Personal Finance, and Economics. In addition, our students have an opportunity to take a variety of elective courses. 
GCA offers both Standard and Advanced Studies diploma tracts. The offering of honors level coursework and dual enrollment, challenge the more advanced students in their academic pursuits. Our seniors complete a Senior Thesis Project which provides each student the opportunity to enhance academic coursework in a personalized area of interest.

Extra Curricular Activities

Character development, civic responsibility, and serving our community are all fostered in the secondary grades from a biblical perspective both in and out of the classroom. Secondary students participate in ACSI Student Activities across the commonwealth, such as Math Olympics, Spelling Bees, Science Fairs, Creative Writing Festivals, Art Festivals, and Desktop Publishing. Students may also participate in the Praise Team, the after school drama program, athletics, and a variety of other enrichment opportunities.

Our family has been at GCA for 6 years now, and I can’t imagine sending my children anywhere else for school. I had always been confident they were receiving a superior education, but when a friend became a substitute teacher there, she was blown away by everything – from the advanced curriculum to the health and safety protocols. She said I could “rest assured that your girls are getting an EXCELLENT education in a loving, very spiritually sound environment!” We have become such close friends with so many of the families there, and there is such a feeling of being part of a team, all focused on the academic and spiritual growth of our precious children. We highly recommend GCA!

My kids have been at GCA for 5 years and the community and care have been so special to our family. The teaching staff in elementary has been exceptional and while my kids have excelled academically, it’s the spiritual sincerity of the staff that has blown us away. The students learn about God in a way that makes them fall in love with Him and become hungry for more!
