our admissions process

  1. Please apply online at www.gcak12.org/apply. Applications for the 2025/26 school year will be accepted on or after February 4th, 2025. Please note that applications will not be available for grades with no capacity for new students.

  2. Wave 1 applications (submitted February 4th - 9th) will be reviewed during the week of February 12th. Applicants in grades with capacity following the Wave 1 review may be invited to sign up for a new student assessment. These will be held in person at the South Campus.

    • Wave 2 applications (submitted on or after February 10th) will be reviewed after Wave 1 applicants complete the process. We strongly recommend applying during Wave 1.

  3. After review of Wave 1 applications, your family will receive an admissions update. These updates may include moving forward in the admissions process to the family interview, being notified that your applicant is being placed on the waitlist, or being notified that your applicant will not be moving forward in the admissions process.

  4. Applicants and parents or guardians who complete a family interview with one of our principals will be notified of the admissions decision via email. Upon receipt of an acceptance offer, please complete the online enrollment packet within 48 hours to secure your student’s spot.

  5. Welcome to the GCA Family! Look for more information about the 2025/26 school year over the summer.

Please note: Our Admissions Committee prayerfully considers each candidate and evaluates many factors. Applicants who are not accepted will not receive details on why they were not offered admittance. Reasons for denial may include insufficient academic qualifications, conflicting spiritual priorities, past behavioral issues or may simply result from a limited availability of seats. We understand that it can be difficult not to receive a clear reason for an admissions denial, but pledge that we do not take our decisions lightly.
