All curriculum at Grace Christian Academy is Biblically based. Our students participate in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics), language arts, social studies, foreign language, community outreach, and physical education, which enable them to begin exploring individual differences.
Students are challenged to become critical thinkers and problem solvers. The development of the whole child is important as students participate in band, choir, art, Spanish, physical education, computer programming, and drama, along with their core subjects of math, science, social studies, language arts, and Bible. We inspire and prepare them for leadership by involving them in student council and community service projects such as I.H.E.L.P., Feed My Starving Children, and Operation Christmas Child.
With different Bible studies and curriculum for each grade, students at Grace Christian Academy will be taught to study, analyze, and apply Scripture to their lives. By the time a student graduates from Grace, he or she will have had an overview of the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation. The student will have committed to memory a substantial amount of Scripture, along with the knowledge and understanding of the practical application of Scripture in a believer’s daily life.
Education Enhancement Program
The purpose of the Educational Enhancement (EE) Program at Grace Christian Academy is to provide Christ-centered academic support for students who have shown signs of learning difficulties. The Educational Enhancement services are offered to students through a variety of programs, including Search and Teach, traditional resource, and classroom support. Educational Enhancement services focus on helping students reach their academic potential in a regular educational setting. Services are designed for students with mild academic difficulties. The program is not intended to replace specialized assistance for students with more severe learning problems or other types of disabilities.
The preschool program is a combination of Core Knowledge curriculum and Thematic Units that have been developed by our certified preschool staff. Core Knowledge is a set of model guidelines describing fundamental competencies and specific knowledge for children ages 3-5 in the areas of movement, social skills, work habits, language, emerging literacy skills in reading and writing, scientific and mathematical reasoning, music, orientation in time and space, and visual arts (which are a basis of the curriculum our preschool program has developed). Research shows that structuring curriculum in this form is beneficial for preschool age children. These competencies provide a coherent foundation for Kindergarten and beyond.
GCA is committed to providing a Biblical worldview for all students, partnering with families to provide an excellent educational experience.
