private, Christian school, located in Fairfax County, just minutes
from the District of Columbia. GCA was established in 1973
and serves a diverse student body.Grace Christian Academy is
a part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) -
one of the largest private school systems in the country.
Grace Christian Academy provides its students with an exceptional
academic program, coupled with deep study in God's word. We
offer small class sizes in a caring environment. Our low
faculty-to-student ratio - 9:1 - sets our scholars up for
success at GCA and beyond. Our mixed-grade classrooms give our
faculty the unique opportunity to provide an education based on the
individual needs and strengths of each scholar. Our graduates go on
to thrive in our local public and private school systems, including
Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate(IB)
programs.
Our Mission: Grace ChristianAcademy exists
to nurture its children and reach out to our community with a
Bible-based Christian education. We provide each child with a
superior education while developing the best skills for each
individual to live a productive life. We believe that Christian
education promotes the welfare of the entire person.

of Private School Accreditation (NCPSA). We offer strong academic
programs through methods and materials in a safe, caring, and
educational environment.

Italian, Home Economics/Life Skills, Tone Chimes, and
Photography.
In addition to educating for useful skills, cultivating cultural
interests and social graces, promoting physical health, and
developing the special gifts and talents of the individual child,
GCA endeavors to train our scholars to think for themselves,
discover on their own, and learn proper study habitsThrough
education in secular subjects, it prepares the student for daily
living in the world; through formal religious training and the
influence of Christian teachers, it provides for a proper
relationship with God and one's fellow human beings. The particular
strength of the school as an agency of Christian education is that
it provides for the daily strengthening of the Christian values
already started in the home. It allows for the training of the
student for a life of ministry in the church and the world. Grace
Christian Academy operates cooperatively with education in public
schools. GCA provides positive Christian instruction and training,
which the public schools are not expected to do and cannot provide.
GCA works to coordinate its curriculum with the public schools at
each grade level to allow for easy transfer.
