History
Grace Community Church opened a preschool in 1967 called Grace Community Children’s Center. Many of the parents of the preschoolers made inquiries about beginning an elementary school to continue their children’s Christian education.
In 1975, Grace Community Church met that challenge by starting a grade school, Grace Christian Academy (formerly Grace Community Christian School) which has now grown into a PreSchool-8th grade academic school with approximately 300 students.
Grace Christian Academy is a Top Christian School
The VISION of GCA is to educate and equip students through a Biblical worldview, to succeed in a competitive academic environment, use their unique skills for God’s glory and live a Christ-centered life.
For over 40 years, Grace Christian Academy (formerly Grace Community Christian School) has strived to be the school of choice for the southeast valley. GCA achieves this goal by continuing to use comprehensive curricular and co-curricular programs that provide an emphasis in core subject areas preparing students for success, while enhancing academic achievement with elective opportunities that explore students’ God-given talents.
Christian Life Perspective
GCA recognizes God as Creator of all things, and Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of all who acknowledge Him as Lord.
Our general purposes are:
- To present to our students the truth about God, about life and living, about our world and everything in it, about the nature of man, and about how to love all people through Christ.
- To present the Word of God as the authoritative source upon which to build a life that has purpose and meaning.
- To uphold the sanctity of our homes and the sacredness of our churches.
- To inspire in students a system of values consistent with the Word of God.
- To prepare our students with the basic tools of learning in preparation to be God’s representatives in society.
- To instill in students a strong love for our country.
We believe that each student is uniquely created by God as a physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual being, and is endowed with particular talents.
Accreditation
Every five years Grace Christian Academy is reviewed by Association Christian Schools International. ACSI member schools seek accreditation to validate their quality and verify that they are striving for excellence based on a solid Christian philosophy of education. The primary aim in the accreditation process is to stimulate and guide continuous school improvement in the areas of teaching and learning, leadership and the use of resources.
