academics

GCA students in 1st through 4th grade receive a strong academic foundation in the core areas of the curriculum, including Bible, reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, which will ensure their success in the next steps of their educational journey. In addition to these core areas, students engage in special offerings such as art, music, P.E., STEM, Spanish, and library. There is a joy and excitement for learning as students are engaged in creative learning opportunities from a biblical perspective led by an amazing team of teachers.  Instruction is differentiated to meet the individual learning needs of each student, acknowledging the uniqueness in which God has created each child.  Our Elementary School offers excellence in academics while laying a firm foundation in Christ, developing a biblical worldview, and equipping elementary school students to serve Him.

BIBLE courses

We strive to encourage your student in developing a biblical worldview from a young age. From phonics to science, our elementary school academics teach students to recognize God daily. We help students understand how their faith connects with not only school but every area of life. Our teachers commit to fostering a secure and trusting environment in which students can build lasting relationships. Above all, the GCA elementary school academics focus on character just as much as competency. We desire to see your student grow in Christian maturity.

Bible buddies

Students at the South Campus are paired up for the school year and meet monthly for an activity or service project. Buddies have joined together to pack care packages for patients at Riley Hospital, play games, discuss their favorite Bible verses, join in school-wide pep rallies, and paint stones to outline the school’s sidewalks.

Through Bible Buddies, students have the opportunity to build relationships with other age groups and between divisions. These relationships lead to the tight-knit community that defines GCA.
