K-8 Private School
GCA offers private education in Geauga County for kindergarten through 8th grade. Our pilot school year was 2023-2024, and we opened our doors offering K-5. We currently have students enrolled in grades K-8. We will be expanding to 9th grade in 26-27.
Each upcoming school year, we will expand our grade bandwidth until we reach the twelfth grade. We anticipate our first graduating class to be the class of 2030.
Preschool Program
In addition to our ODE-accredited K-8 private school, GCA also offers opportunities for younger learners. Our preschool offers 3 and 5-day school day-length programs for children ages 3-5 who are fully potty trained.
Homeschool Enrichment
This unique two-day-per-month drop off program will have a dedicated homeschool classroom and instructors—and will provide the opportunity for our enrichment students and our K-8 students to collaborate with one another.
Currently holding Open Houses for
2026-2027 Enrollment.
