The teachers at GCA are trustworthy.  When they look at each student, they see someone who was created by God, someone God loves.  The teachers at GCA are caring educational facilitators who strive to find the best methods of bringing academic success to your son and daughter. 

The students at GCA are trustworthy.  As we seek to build the character of each student, we hope to encourage observation skills and a discerning eye.  It’s part of life to seek friendship.   As students interact with the students around them, they must learn to be trustworthy friends and develop within themselves those character qualities they seek in others. 

The administration and staff at GCA are trustworthy.  As a small school, we have the advantage of familiarity.  It’s a privilege to testify to the integrity of the secretaries, the chefs, the bus drivers, and the administrators because we have known them for so many years and seen their attitudes and behavior through joy and challenges. 

We are excited about trusting God this year.  It will be a year of learning about the character of God, creating relationships of trust based upon observable integrity, and building our skills through the many facets of education we have grown to appreciate at GCA.
