Comprehensive education options for every child at every age.
K-12 Private School
GCA offers private education in Geauga County for kindergarten through 12th grade. Our pilot school year was 2023-2024, and we opened our doors offering K-5.
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 2031.
Preschool & Toddler Programs
In addition to our ODE-accredited K-12 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.
For ages 18 months to 3 years, we also offer our Mom or Dad’s Morning Off program, which is a 2-day per week morning program geared for toddlers to learn through play.
Homeschool Enrichment
GCA is piloting a homeschool enrichment program unlike anything else in the area for the 2024-2025 school year.
This unique two-day-per-week drop off program will have a dedicated homeschool classroom and instructors—and will provide the opportunity for our enrichment students and our K-12 students to collaborate with one another.
