      At GCA, we are committed to making high-quality private education affordable.

      We invite you to contact us even if tuition affordability is a concern so that we can learn more about your family and your student. We are committed to making our school accessible to families that align with our values.

  • 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.
