      At GCA, we are committed to making a high-quality private education accessible to families. If affordability is a concern, we encourage you to contact us so we can learn more about your family and your student.

      We believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in an educational environment that recognizes and nurtures their unique strengths, talents, and potential. Our goal is to make a GCA education accessible to families who share our values and educational philosophy.

  • Our maximum class size is 16 children per classroom, but we strive to provide low student to teacher ratios.

    As student body size permits, we combine several age groups in the classroom, allowing our students to experience the ability to learn from their peers in addition to their instructors.

    Diversified learning and individualized learning plans are also created by our teachers for each student, helping them to build and grow their proficiency in core classes as well.

    We are committed to keeping class sizes small as our student population expands to keep up our individualized learning plans for each student-- a critical element of our foundational education beliefs at GCA.
